I’m a science communicator with a background in climate adaptation, ecology, and cryosphere research.
Connection through storytelling.
One of the best ways to give an idea or scientific concept meaning is through story. Narratives allow us to grasp complex, new information more quickly and retain it for longer than compared to factual, non-narrative information.
I hold a bachelors degree in environmental science from Northeastern University, where I learned the value of good communication from my professors and classmates. A newfound passion for science writing led me to my first communications position as an intern at the MIT Energy Initiative.
In my work as a science communicator with the University of Alaska and the University of Washington, I have gained practical experience interpreting climate science and ecological research for a variety of audiences. Actionable research that makes an impact is founded in communication — between scientists, to the managers and decision makers implementing policy, and to the communities affected. I work to find a common language between these worlds, sharing knowledge in a way that empowers action, rather than dismissal and confusion.
I have recently relocated to Oslo, Norway. I’m interested in connecting with other science communicators and potential opportunities both in Norway and remotely.
