As a passionate science communicator, my aim is to make science accessible. My main focus has been on environmental issues, particularly climate change. Climate change is an area of science that poses many difficulties for science communicators. I try to overcome these obstacles in creative ways. My passion lies within fiction, as I believe it to be particularly adept at engaging a wide audience. Not only does it draw you in with an entertaining story, but it engages with your emotions in a way that could lead to longlasting changes in attitudes and behaviours. 

 

I want to use my writing as a way to invite those that feel disengaged with the issues of climate change back into the conversation. The subject is all too complex and keeping up with the facts and figures can be daunting. However, this is an issue that should be important to everyone regardless of scientific literacy. 

​

Along with creating stories, I am interested in furthering the research that I have done during my postgrad studies in how to effectively engage an audience through empathy and immersion. I am also interested in using my skills within storytelling to create creative nonfiction pieces that capture the audience in the same way that fiction can.
