Sparking discovery and dialogue across museums, digital spaces, and communities

Participatory science engagement, built to scale

I bring a unique blend of scientific expertise and creative vision to public engagement. With a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and over two decades in museum leadership, I transform complex topics, from AI to neurotechnology, into accessible, hands-on experiences. Leading national networks and global dialogues, I drive initiatives that empower communities to explore the future of science with curiosity and confidence.

Emerging technology engagement

I create workshops and dialogue tools that help global audiences connect emerging tech to their lives and imagine shared, responsible futures.

Interactive digital experiences

I take digital experiences from concept to launch, using interactivity and narrative to invite curiosity, participation, and learning through creativity.

Network-scale STEM education

I partner with museum leaders, education researchers, and STEM experts to co-develop audience-tested activities and exhibits that scale through national networks.
