Work
Collaboration
I help experts from diverse fields come together to create powerful messages. My mission: express the richness of my clients’ ideas in clear, accessible prose. Do I herd cats—otherwise known as informal mediation? Absolutely! Just enough to help clients relax, find common ground, and meet their deadlines.
Climate Change Strategy
I’ve been the author of Louisiana's primary climate change adaptation documents post-Hurricane Katrina, including $50 billion coastal plans for a region of two million residents. Plans this big have to be written for people from all walks of life. So I work one on one with scientists, engineers, policy folks, and designers to convert wonky words into messages everyone can understand.
Smart Talk
Ambitious researchers want to share their work with the world. But sometimes intense specialization has narrowed their communication skills instead of broadening them. I’ve developed a coaching series to address this challenge, one that offers clients practical, hands on training for sharing their work when and how they choose.
