My name is Kristen Hovet and I am a journalist and writer covering a variety of topics ranging from health and medical innovation to psychology and social issues. I strive to make information accessible and meaningful to a diverse audience.
In addition to doing freelance work for several media outlets, I am the
founding editor of BRIGID Magazine and a
contributing columnist at Genetic Literacy Project.
I am working on my second degree in Psychology at Simon Fraser University. I have completed certificates in
Epigenetics,
Personalized Medicine,
Human Physiology, and
Genetics and Evolution. I am also a member of the National Association of Science Writers.
Born in Williston, North Dakota, I have moved over 30 times in my life, and currently reside in Vancouver, British Columbia with my family.
When I'm not writing, I love to read, travel, attend concerts, peruse Netflix, and go for long walks and hikes.
