What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue advancing my writing career through work covering science, technology, futurism, longevity, and the future of business.

I've written futurist coverage for the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies since 2013, contributing on science, technology, politics, and the future. Since 2015, I've also been recognized as an Affiliate Scholar for my ongoing work as a writer and futurist.

At Serious Wonder, I served as a writer, editor, and Social Media Manager for science, technology, and futurist news. I've also written for Humai, BodAi, and Future of Sex, bringing analytical futurist perspectives to robotics, AI, cybernetics, longevity, and emerging innovation.

I've led and supported online communities as Director of Social Media for the U.S. Transhumanist Party, overseeing social profiles, online presence, and its Foreign Ambassadors program. As Editor in Chief of Cyberlife, I worked to make the publication a cultural destination for transhumanist films, music, art, and ideas.

My work extends to technology advising, policy, and public outreach: I advised The Last Generation to Die, served on Lifeboat Foundation's Futurists and Space Settlement boards, and helped organize Planetary Resources' ARKYD 100 Space Telescope campaign, which reached $1.5 million in July 2013. I'm a published author on longevity science and the future of business, and I'm focused on continuing to push my writing career forward.
