Services
My work sits at the intersection of science communication, learning design, community organizing, and applied theatre. Bringing these fields together allows me to design experiences that don't just share knowledge—they help people build relationships, practice new skills, and create change together.
I help organizations use culture and creativity to build collective power. #
Whether you're designing a retreat, training leaders, or navigating organizational change, I create participatory experiences that help people build trust, strengthen relationships, and turn shared values into action.
My work brings together facilitation, learning design, science communication, community organizing, and applied theatre to help groups move from passive participation to genuine collaboration.
I partner with organizations on: #
- Workshop facilitation
- Retreats
- Leadership development
- Curriculum design
- Strategic planning
- Conference sessions
- Science communication training

Build Trust, Belonging & Collaborative Culture #
Create teams that collaborate across differences. #
Many organizations bring people together without creating the conditions for trust, curiosity, or shared ownership. I design participatory experiences where people can rehearse the kinds of collaboration, leadership, and communities they want to create.
Common challenges #
- People don't feel connected.
- We're struggling to collaborate across differences.
- We want a healthier team culture.
Ways we can work together #
- Team retreats
- Arts-based facilitation
- Dialogue and relationship-building workshops
- Creative approaches to inclusion and belonging
- Organizational reflection and visioning
Selected work #
- Climate Change Theatre Action East Lansing
- Scicomm Identities Project
- STEMprov Improv for Science & Technology

Design Learning That Moves People #
Workshops people remember—and actually use. #
The best learning doesn't happen through lectures. I design interactive workshops that help participants actively practice new skills, reflect on their experiences, and leave ready to apply what they've learned.
Whether the topic is science communication, leadership, collaboration, or public engagement, my goal is the same: learning that sticks.
Common challenges #
- People are disengaged.
- Our trainings feel like lectures.
- We need learning that participants can immediately apply.
Ways we can work together #
- Workshop design
- Facilitation
- Curriculum development
- Science communication training
- Conference workshops
- Train-the-trainer programs
Selected work #
- American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Member Learning Hub
- Designing Research-Informed Science Communication for the National Academy of Engineering

Develop Leaders Who Build Change #
Grow leadership—not just participation. #
Strong organizations don't depend on a few committed people. They cultivate leaders who build relationships, share responsibility, and help others step into meaningful roles.
I help organizations develop leadership practices, team structures, and organizing strategies that make collective action sustainable.
Common challenges #
- We're relying on the same people.
- We have volunteers but not enough leaders.
- Our organizers are burning out.
Ways we can work together #
- Leadership development
- Strategic planning retreats
- Public Narrative workshops
- Coalition facilitation
- Campaign strategy
- Team and organizational design
Selected work #
- Science in Solidarity
- Reimagining Climate Futures Through Participatory Theatre
- Developing Health Equity Leaders Through Embodied Learning
