Hire me, a scientist + journalist + former Capitol Hill insider, to make your science-informed message accessible to anyone.

As seen in:

As a freelance science communications expert, I help develop science narratives and strategies to drive decision-making in the world, whether we’re talking about a bill to be passed in Congress, a cool new project looking for investors, or just helping people learn about a new, important topic or issue.

Previously, I’ve helped reform the US healthcare system, interviewed a space-bound NASA astronaut, and so much more. The White House recognized my work as a neuroscientist-journalist on the Science Friday “Hack Your Brain” activity as “high-quality learning.” Oh, and I’m not just a writer — I’m also a video and audio journalist, by the way!

What I do is simple: I tell science stories to get stuff done. Explore my portfolio or visit my services page to see what I can do for you. Also check out Fancy Comma, LLC, the science communications and policy consulting company I founded.

If you’d like to learn more about how I got to be both a scientist and strategic communicator, read my bio here.
