Building on scientific training and 18+ years of private sector experience, I am an expert on storytelling and the forces underlying engagement, belief change, and decision-making, including emotion, social identity, and values. In my consulting work, I've helped organizations craft evidence-based engagement and audience strategies that integrate scientific insights with best practices.I synthesize insights from various disciplines, including neuroscience and psychology, to understand how social and biological forces shape the stories we tell, our behavior, thoughts, and feelings in the face of risk and uncertainty. I have a passion to help improve risk communication about societal issues such as climate change and public health.Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream was my very first client - an experience that profoundly influenced how I think about business, profitability, and social impact. Since then, I've had the good fortune to do meaningful work for purpose-driven organizations with a clear sense of how they create value while making the world a better place. A better place for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.I earned a Ph.D. studying the neuroscience and psychology of how values and identity interact in stories to influence engagement with climate change (e.g. risk perception, outcome efficacy, pro-social behavior.)Personal Profile:Insatiably curious.
