Having studied Film and Television at NYU, Environmental Biology at Columbia, and my Environmental Management at Duke, I want to help make complex environmental research more relevant to resource users and policy makers through creative storytelling strategies. I’ve been lucky to work with organizations that let me explore best practices in science communication, be it as a video editor for the United Nations Development Program or as an Insect Zoo volunteer at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum, where I currently get to teach visitors about arthropods (Let me know if you ever want to go to a tarantula feeding!). Off the clock, I enjoy reading, hiking, drinking coffee, chocolate chip cookies, and scrolling through Petfinder while dreaming of having a puppy!
