CONSERVATION & SCIENCE
I specialize in making complex scientific research accessible and compelling for diverse audiences. From collaborating with leading zoos and aquariums to documenting groundbreaking conservation efforts across the Pacific Northwest, I translate cutting-edge research into stories that educate, inspire, and drive action. My work has brought innovative conservation science to millions through PBS, award-winning documentaries, and educational partnerships.
