About Me

I love science, storytelling, and spreadsheets. I make content around audience-centered goals and projects to make science come alive. What is the story behind a helium atom used in quantum physics? How is a decades-old material science question about heat in jet turbines holding back a more energy-efficient future? and what kind of project will get the story to your audience? That's my specialty.
I'm a big believer that teamwork makes the dream-work, but I'm also comfortable with ambiguity or a rough outline. To me, success is defined as the audience feeling more empowered than when they arrived.
