Hi everyone! I am the owner and principal consultant for Renaissance Woman Consulting LLC and a dedicated lifelong learner. I actively cross pollinate impactful ideas across industries and disciplines. I'm passionate about #education, #communication, #outreach and #networking. I keep issues related to #diversity, #equity, #inclusion, #belonging, #access, #accessibility and #justice at the hear of my work. I've spent years specializing in science communication in TV/radio, education and the non-profit realm, utilizing my training as a scientist, journalist and educator to bridge gaps between the scientific community and those who consider themselves to be outside of it. I'm involved nationally in diversity in #STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and STEM engagement initiatives that seek to inspire interest and excitement for STEM broadly. Partnerships and equitable collaboration have been a huge focus of my work as I connect people and organizations with similar interests and help them strategically work together. I'm involved with teaching/education in other realms as well, including facilitating/moderating virtual training for out-of-school educators, tutoring and designing/leading camps for youth on a plethora of topics, designing formal education curriculum, leading fitness classes, and working as a broadcast journalist/meteorologist. I enjoy a Renaissance woman life-style filled with unusual adventures and intriguing people. #introduction
