Meet Mariela
From writing short stories as soon as I learned how to write to publishing scientific papers and pursuing a career in communications, writing has always been my passion. Throughout my undergraduate career in New York and my PhD degree in Switzerland, I witnessed how many learners struggled with writing during their academic career, in addition to facing issues like poor mental health and limited access to tools for success. I started MMLabs in hopes of making this journey easier for them. I'm dedicated to supporting learners and scientists learn better and work better through what I do best—writing. I also want to bridge the knowledge gap and make sure everyone has the tools they need to succeed in academia and in life.
