Hi, I’m a strategic communications professional based in Lutruwita/Tasmania. I have over 10 years of experience as a senior science communicator covering tech, genetic engineering, social science and climate change. Working at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, I have fused my technical background in storytelling and media production with a passion for the climate and environment.

Scientific advances always have a beginning, middle and end. But even the most prominent experts often need help articulating what they do and why it matters. I help to bridge this gap through translation, synthesis and storytelling. This is what makes science compelling.

My approach with clients is to listen and bring clarity to their communication goals. I develop tailored strategies that harness their strengths and empower them to communicate from a place of authenticity. The result? High impact content that helps reach new and diverse audiences.

Does this sound like something you need? Reach out if you need strategic communication support.
