Science
When it comes to explaining science, it’s not enough to give readers a textbook definition. You have to capture their attention with entertaining stories from the field. Overcome their misconceptions using analogies and examples. And show them relevance by relating the unfamiliar to the familiar. With more than 25 years of experience explaining earth and space science topics to lay readers, I use storytelling and familiar language to create engaging content that your readers can relate to and understand.
Travel
Ask anyone what travel locations are on their bucket list, and chances are they’ll tell you they were influenced by an article they read or photos they saw online. As an experienced solo traveler and photographer, I create content that helps people select the best destinations and locations for their specific needs and interests. From a month-long solo trip around New Zealand to exploring a remote atoll in the Cook Islands, my passion for exploring new places has taken me all over the world.
