hello, my name is maria mocerino
A WRITER in Health and Wellness for six years — my work encompasses mental health (psychedelics) and health, generally, as if these ideas had to be separate (medicine and science). I’ve explored trauma, what health means in business and justice. I’ve reported on orphan acrobats in Ethiopia that uplift terminally ill children in hospitals as doctor clowns. I handled internal communications for a regenerative medicine clinic and wrote product descriptions for a mental health app with a foundation in metacognition.
From email to marketing campaigns, pop-ups and brochures, SEO and newsletters, I’ve crafted compelling copy that’s resonated with target audiences and increased traffic. I’ve given talks on storytelling for businesses. Currently covering science news for Interesting Engineering, I was featured on Dinge podcast for my work in archaeology. I tackle health, art & culture, and science related to end-of-life for Seven Ponds. I’m digging deep and reaching for the stars, for sure. I landed on the cover of Vogue Italia in Sept 2020. They believe I’m “getting closer to the psyche and its mechanisms.” So check out my book blog if you’re interested in a really crazy family story, as I have one of those—Vogue might be right.
