Speaking · the core

Keynotes, panels, fireside chats, and convocations for conferences, universities, companies, and foundations.

Leadership & building organizations

Growing a mission from an idea into an institution, and the leadership it takes at each stage.

STEM equity & access

Why a child's postal code should never decide their relationship with science.

Science communication

Making complex ideas land with any audience, without making them small.

Equity, diversity & inclusion

Moving past statements toward structural change that reflects the communities served.

Curiosity & education

The idea at the heart of my TEDx talk: curiosity is a birthright, not a privilege.

From the lab to the boardroom

A scientist's path into leadership, and what each world can learn from the other.

Curiosity Is Your Birthright

The work

Speaking is the front door.

It opens onto workshops, advisory, media, and the community work that anchors everything I do.
