About
I specialize in research communication and media relations for NC State, including writing, editing, content strategy, media outreach, and social media management. I work with public science practitioners to raise awareness of citizen science projects, help them comply with “broader impacts” grant requirements, and disseminate findings to various audiences. I am also a freelance writer and communications consultant, a contributor to Health News Review, author of the “Handbook for Science Public Information Officers” (University of Chicago Press, 2015), and contributor to “Science Blogging: The Essential Guide” (Yale University Press, 2016).
