Job summary and/or description of your work/research:
I help people understand ecological research by translating complex science into stories that resonate with diverse audiences. At NCEAS, I collaborate with scientists and field experts on projects ranging from marine spatial planning to offshore wind energy-highlighting the wide range of ecological research happening at the Center.
Whether I’m designing infographics that bring data to life, working with scientists to craft effective messaging, or building partnerships across disciplines, my goal is to make ecological research engaging, accessible, and impactful.
What do you enjoy most about your work/research:
I love the creative challenge of finding new ways to connect people with complex scientific ideas in meaningful ways. Building bridges between people and the natural world has driven me throughout my career. Research is at the core of how we understand our world, and having the opportunity to connect people with that research feels deeply meaningful to me.
Inspiration:
I’m inspired by the women I’ve worked alongside in science and education, learning from their teaching styles and approaches to communication. The work we do is so important, and it’s empowering to see so many women making an impact. I also draw inspiration from the natural world-learning about native ecosystems deepens my connection to the work I do and shapes how I share nature with others.
