Have you ever planned your life one way, only to end up somewhere completely different?
That’s exactly how I feel when I look back at my journey — from pipettes and petri dishes to penning words for brands. On paper, biotechnology and blogging couldn’t be further apart. Yet, the more I write, the more I realize how much science prepared me for this path.

Biotech taught me patience — experiments fail more often than they succeed, but you learn to try again. Writing works the same way. Drafts fall flat, ideas get scrapped, but persistence brings results.

Research, another core part of science, is also the foundation of writing. Whether it’s dissecting a gene pathway or breaking down a client’s niche industry, the process is the same: ask questions, dig deeper, simplify the complex.

And then comes communication. Science is useless if locked inside journals nobody reads. Writing is the bridge — turning jargon into stories people actually care about. Funny how both my worlds connect right there.

Sometimes purpose doesn’t arrive in a straight line. It shows up at the crossroads of skills you didn’t know would overlap. For me, it was moving from biotechnology to blogging — and finding meaning in unlikely places.
