Hi there!  I'm Christy Hadfield (they/ them), a 26-year-old nonbinary scientist from the midwest. After receiving an undergraduate education in biology and computer science, I obtained a master's degree in bioinformatics. I am now in a biomedical Ph.D. program researching biochemistry & molecular biology. Although forever a lover of science, my interests and passions are multidisciplinary. 

​

Ultimately, my career goal is to teach college level science courses. I'm very passionate about inclusive teaching methods and bringing knowledge to others. Although college programs in STEM have come a long way in terms of accessibility, inclusivity, and supporting the wellbeing of their students, there is still a long way to go. 

​

As a queer, neurodivergent, trans, nonbinary individual, there are many challenges facing our communities. I will remain always as an advocate for myself and others as I believe in the importance of creating visibility and community.

 

My identity and life experiences are reflected in my writing, which I use as a hobby and means of destressing from my daily life. If you're interested in real, though more light hearted, comedic stories about diverse queer characters, you've come to the right place.
