Using creative and compelling storytelling, I aim to make science less nebulous by breaking down complex topics into digestible pieces that illuminate and inspire.

By seeking experience in science communication, I’ve become skilled in translating complex information for diverse audiences. During my career, I’ve acquired communication skills in technical and non-technical writing, adapting scientific material for varied audiences, and oral presentation. My teaching evaluations from students at UC Berkeley – where I mentored and taught over 400 students – consistently mentioned my clarity, enthusiasm, and approachability as an instructor, underscoring my empathetic approach to science communication and my ability to connect with others.

Selected samples from my science communication portfolio:

From the Field (popular science article on my research published in Berkeley Science Review)

Phenotypic and Genetic Diversity in Malagasy poison frogs (genus Mantella) (technical science paper published in Ecology and Evolution)

Oral presentation on my graduate research (presented for an audience of researchers in many diverse fields of environmental science)
