I learned to write and review papers/fellowships as a PhD student at UCSD and as a postdoctoral fellow studying molecular neurobiology at Salk Institute in LaJolla. After that, I worked first as a full-time science writer first and then grant writer for City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center near LA. I continue to work for City of Hope on contract as a freelancer for clients at other institutes worldwide.
