I am passionate about connecting people to important issues affecting our planet and society. I do this mainly through writing and film-making, as well as public lectures, presentations, social media and any other form of communication that is engaging and creative! My professional objectives include advancing the field of science communication, conducting research on environmental sustainability and natural resource management, and using film and literature to communicate about relevant and important environmental and social issues.
