🔹From paranormal television to marine science - and everything in between 🔹As a forward-thinking communications and media specialist, my passion lies in storytelling to tackle the world’s toughest environmental challenges and promote conservation efforts. I am deeply committed to bridging the knowledge gap that exists between science professionals and the general public by creating meaningful messaging that matters.🔹 Professional Background:Explaining the role of a television producer is tricky but can be described as the creator and wrangler of the chaos. It’s the person that can identify a nugget of information, cultivate it into a thoughtful and innovative story, and then bring the vision to life. I expanded my skillset as a supervising producer managing entire teams to execute production objectives and key program goals. Notable programs range from transformative docu-series, international travel programming and lifestyle content (you know, the one where a couple looks at three houses and buys one at the end). With a background in marine science from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, I have successfully married storytelling to complex research topics surrounding the marine environment. My work focuses on developing communication strategies and media for science professionals to amplify their voices to support conservation efforts among various audiences.🔹Media Excellence I possess a strong knowledge in many aspects in the communication field, camera/filming with Canons and Sony, editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Avid, and Final Cut Pro, as well as basic audio.🔹 Science Collaboration I effectively collaborate communication strategies and science with an understanding of ArcGIS, field equipment such as CTDs and ROVs, and underwater communication systems.🔹Let’s connect and explore ways to make a significant impact together and advance conservation one communication strategy at a time!Erin.vandeven@gmail.com
