Science Communication & Public Engagement Through Video

While helping develop Mount Royal University’s Community Science Liaison Program alongside Dr. Katherine Boggs, I led a science communication workshop for geoscientists at the 2022 EON-ROSE conference in Nanaimo focused on explaining technical research clearly to broad audiences.

I later documented the conference through a four-part video series featuring researcher interviews, conference coverage, and public-facing science storytelling focused on seismology and earth science.
These projects marked the beginning of a broader interest in multimedia science storytelling.
Since then, I have created more than 30 videos spanning medicine, biomedical communications, physiology, and neurodivergence, collectively reaching over 125,000 viewers.
Reflective Science Storytelling
As generative AI tools rapidly entered creative and healthcare spaces, I created a long-form reflective video exploring what these technologies may mean for biomedical communications and creative scientific work.
I spoke to experts in AI, medical illustration, and relied on my experiences working at an innovation minded-startup to explore how emerging technologies are already reshaping creative practice, scientific communication, and professional identity.
The project also reflects my broader interest in communicating complex scientific and technological change through narrative-driven media.
