WELCOME
I'm a communications generalist with a specific niche: science and conservation orgs that need someone who can grow an audience, manage partners, and translate technically complex work for non-expert audiences. I craft compelling narratives that elevate diverse perspectives, drive social impact, and build engaged communities around work that matters
I invite you to browse this site to view examples of my work.

A’ole TMT: Environmental Justice and Indigenous Resistance in Hawaiʻi
“Next, the team will send the samples to a laboratory for analysis where these small particles of DNA will yield big picture insights, illuminating the biodiversity that lives below the surface in the Palau National Marine Sanctuary.”
Science Storytelling
“When you pick up your phone to play FathomVerse, you’ve replaced scrolling with ocean exploring, diving below the surface to help scientists learn more about our blue planet.”
“Scenes in the ocean present some of the biggest challenges for computer vision models to analyze. Visibility varies by depth, some ocean environments bustle with overlapping animals, drifting sediment obscures a clear view, and many animals move together in large groups.”
“This movement elucidates the need for U.S. culture to seriously reconsider the structures of settler colonialism that perpetuate the exploitation of natural resources and destroy our environment while simultaneously oppressing indigenous peoples.”
VIDEO PRODUCTION

Explore the Depths with FathomVerse
After working with the app development team to build FathomVerse, I wrote, directed, and produced a series of 6 informational videos about the new game. One is public, and the rest are exclusive to the app.
Interview
Thriving with Roxy Reaves and Coastal Curl
Thriving is a video series created for Instagram Reels that highlights businesses and community organizations led by women of color that promote personal and planetary health. This was a solo project for my master’s program, and I created it in partnership with a Bay Area nonprofit, Earth in Color.
Community Spotlight
Polar Bear Queens of Cabrillo Beach
This is a personal passion project that was a blast to make. I wanted to capture the essence of a community group that means a lot to me, so I conducted interviews and produced this video to showcase the amazing women who are dedicated to open water swimming in Southern California.
Remote Production
Introducing the Climate Resilient Fisheries Toolkit
I produced this video and co-wrote an accompanying article to announce the launch of the EDF Climate-Resilient Fisheries Toolkit. For background research, I attended workshop with international collaborators and intended audience of the toolkit to understand the needs of the audience and how best to reach new users.
Short-form social media
Instagram Reels with Popular Sounds
Capitalizing on a social media trends, I made very quick and effective videos that are optimized for engagements and impressions from new audiences.
