Maricar is a writer and blogger, who has covered a variety of topics including science, celebrities and family life. She likes to think of herself as a Renaissance woman, defined as “A woman who has broad intellectual interests and is accomplished in areas of both the arts and the sciences,” aka Jill-of-many-trades.

Maricar has degrees in Biology, and Plant Breeding and Genetics. She has worked in both the research and applied arenas of agriculture and the biological sciences. She does a bit of photography on the side, mostly for family and friends. She reads a lot and also writes children’s fiction. She knows how to crochet, knit, sew, scrapbook, and cook. Not that she does all of these things at any given time. She just thinks these are good things to know how to do.
