Science Communication
Translating complex science into clear, accurate, and visually compelling communication
I specialize at the intersection of science, design, and communication—helping organizations translate complex information into clear, accessible messaging for patients, researchers, and the public.
My work spans medical education, public health communication, and academic programs, using web, video, and visual storytelling to engage diverse audiences and improve understanding.
