My Approach

Public engagement is a powerful tool for a scholar, yet few graduate programs train scholars to effectively communicate research to anyone outside the academy. 

And other training programs may focus only on building communication skills. 

But here is what I believe….

💡You hold the power to make an impact: You don’t need another shiny framework, checklist, course, tool, or step-by-step guide. You just need to tune into your own wisdom and do the work.

💡Everyone’s path is different: Every scholars research interests are different, and every scholars communication style is very unique. We will work only in the space that makes you comfortable, where your communication skills can thrive and your research can make the most impact.  

💡I’m here to provide you with the tools to navigate the waters and find your own way: If I do my job right, you won’t need to work with me beyond our sessions. It’s my job to help you build up the skills, experience & confidence to move forward on your own, maintaining a successful career as a public scholar.

💡Together, we will achieve your goals: My purpose is to help you succeed. I am dedicated to ensuring you meet your goals by the end of our sessions. In the oft lonely world of academia, this program thrives on accountability and support.
