Work with clients to increase awareness of ocean science and policy initiatives. Using integrated traditional and social media strategies, my goal is to build ocean conservation campaigns that bring broad exposure of complex ocean-related issues to the media, policymakers, stakeholders and the general public. I tailor long-term communications and marketing campaigns that support new and ongoing efforts to protect, restore and sustain the marine environment. * Communications and Marketing Plans * Media Relations and News Monitoring * Social Media * News Releases and Background Materials * Science writing and speech writing * Communications Training * Community Relations
