I develop strategic communications, editorial content, and digital storytelling that help organizations translate complex research into clear, engaging, and accessible narratives. My work spans website content, newsletters, editorial features, stakeholder communications, digital campaigns, and science communication for international research initiatives.

The projects below highlight examples of research storytelling, content development, and communications work across genomics, biodiversity, conservation, and environmental science.

Writing and Editorial Work

Why Sequence All Species

Role: Website content development and science translation

Developed public-facing content for the Earth BioGenome Project explaining why species-level genome sequencing matters for biodiversity research, conservation, and scientific discovery. Translated a complex scientific concept into accessible website content for broad scientific and public audiences.

Major Event Communications

Role: Communications lead, content development, stakeholder coordination, and event communications

Led communications planning and delivery for the Earth BioGenome Project Phase II: Scaling Up meeting, an international leadership event bringing together senior scientific leaders and major biodiversity genomics initiatives.
Developed meeting communications, website content, agendas, briefing materials, presentation resources, speaker communications, invitations, and post-meeting summaries. Worked with executive leadership, committee chairs, presenters, and international partners to support clear messaging, stakeholder alignment, and effective information flow.
This project required managing competing priorities, translating complex scientific and organizational discussions into accessible communications, and supporting decision-making for the next phase of a global genomics initiative.

Skills demonstrated: Strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, executive communications, event communications, project coordination, content development, editorial planning, and science communication.
