Outreach

I have extensive experience in outreach and science communication, including as a public relations editor, science camp assistant coordinator, lecturer, teaching assistant, and writer.

I serve as the chief public relations editor Palaeontologia Electronica. I began serving as a public relations editor in 2023.

I earned a certificate in “Communications and Engagement” through Carleton University Grad Professional Development in 2023.
