Science Communication
Science communication is a core part of how I approach my work in the geosciences. I focus on translating complex data and research into clear, engaging, and accessible insights for a wide range of audiences. Whether working with technical teams, stakeholders, or the general public, I aim to make scientific results both understandable and meaningful. My experience spans publishing scientific papers, producing technical reports, and developing articles and media for broader audiences. In 2020, I interned with the Science Directorate at NASA Ames, where I wrote articles on recent scientific discoveries and capacity-building programs. I also created the “Share Your Science” podcast discussion series and contributed to developing storytelling approaches as a tool for science communication, which I presented at AGU 2020. More recently, I worked as a graduate STEM communication designer, where I developed open educational resources (OERs). These included video lectures, written lessons, and exercises focused on different aspects of conducting and publishing research. Below are selected examples of my science communication work, including articles, media, and published research.
MS Thesis Research Results

Blending Science and Tradition
NASA: Ames 2020
Blending Science and Tradition is an article I wrote published on the NASA home page discussing the Indigenous Peoples' Project - a remote sensing capacity building project between NASA: Ames and indigenous tribes. The goal of the IPP is to foster relations and help indigenous tribes better manage their natural resources. This article was published as part of my science communication internship at NASA: Ames.

This article was published as part of my science communication internship at NASA: Ames.
Technical Communication
CSM Writing Center 2022
The Open Educational Resources (OERs) I developed cover writing, communication, science, and pedagogical topics, each including an explanatory video, a detailed handout, and a corresponding exercise sheet to reinforce learning. These materials were created and published as part of my role as a Graduate STEM Communication Designer at the Colorado School of Mines, with the goal of making technical content more accessible and engaging for a broad academic audience.
