Scientist
I work in analytical development & regulatory CMC of advanced biologic therapeutics at a biotech company. I have a PhD in Bioengineering focused on AAV gene therapies & protein engineering.
Writer
Part newsletter, part textbook, all biotech. Every week I break down regulatory news and science & tech advancements using original figures I make so you can stay up to date & understand the details.
Communicator
Showing up on social media as a trusted voice of evidence-based public health guidance is an important part of today’s information ecosystem. My ScienceWithAnni account started in 2020.
Organizer
Good science communication starts with empathy. I co-lead The Evidence Collective — a group of scientists, public health experts, and physicians with a goal of educating without condescension.
Face behind the name
I have always had a love for science, dating back to my teenage years. But it has never just been about the science; I’ve always loved communicating it. Drawing it. Organizing it. Making it accessible to everyone and easier to remember. Dig through old boxes in my parents’ basement and you’ll find illustrated study guides on just about everything I was learning (even for books I read in English class). My brain works in infographics and now I put them here on the internet.
That same instinct for finding the pattern and building the system is what's driven my industry work toward roles that build infrastructure to optimize ways of working and better connect results to decisions. In practice, that’s meant building tools, dashboards, and automated workflows (sometimes utilizing AI) to make data more accessible, project status and responsibility more visible, and knowledge management more standardized.
My communication style is also heavily influenced by years on debate team — the nuance of building an argument, recognizing bias, and holding a position while still respecting someone else's. That shows up in how I write and speak just as much as the science does.
Experience behind the name
I studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City) and went on to get a PhD in Bioengineering at Rice University (Houston). My undergraduate work was more medtech-focused — including some early hands-on healthcare experience working part-time with the artificial heart and LVAD department and, separately, designing two medical devices. My doctorate research, by contrast, was very biotech in nature and focused heavily on gene therapy, virology, and protein engineering. Since obtaining my PhD I have worked at a BioPharma company developing advanced biologic therapeutics and have experience in Analytical Development, CMC Regulation, and workflow architecture.
