Together, we’ll develop a clear, compelling talk or essay that represents your work at its best and opens doors to the conversations you most care about.

Let’s connect your research with the audience it deserves.

I'm ready

Here’s what I know: You’re doing serious, intellectually demanding work, and you want to share it—whether that’s with a general audience, a foundation, or a roomful of potential collaborators.

But when it comes time to explain it to others, your words don’t land the way you want them to. Plus, you don’t really have time to go that deep.

Science communication is changing quickly. Today, creating scientific content that sticks relies on accessibility, dialogue, even vulnerability—not an overly polished persona. Communicating outside your field is essential but too often treated as an afterthought.

People want to know the mind behind the research. They want to get to know the personality of the researcher. And for that to be sustainable, the process of showing up in public has to feel genuine.

How it works

2.

We meet to clarify your core message and gather key material.

1.

You complete an intake survey so I can understand your work, goals, and context.

4.

We work closely to shape your material into a polished final draft.

3.

I share a structured road map to guide you as you write.

What you’ll leave with

  • A clear, well-structured message grounded in your strongest thinking

  • Language that is precise, readable, and trustworthy without overstating or oversimplifying

  • A strong through-line, with the right balance of argument, example, and evidence

  • A deeper understanding of your audience and how to connect with them without diluting your work

  • Guidance on voice, tone, and how to express your ideas in a way that feels natural and credible

By the end of our work together, you’ll have a clear, refined piece of writing (up to 2,500 words) that is grounded in your strongest thinking and ready to deliver or publish.

Plus, you’ll walk away with a stronger sense of how to structure and express your ideas going forward, so you’re not starting from scratch each time.

About me

I’m a writer, narrative strategist, and science communication coach who helps experts translate complex research into clear, compelling stories. I partner with research institutions to highlight the people behind the science, combining journalistic rigor with a finely honed instinct for resonance. Since 2021, I’ve been working one-on-one with researchers to bring their work to wider audiences through essays and talks in venues like Scientific American and TEDxNewEngland.

What clients say

  • “Alex was a joy to work with, and her feedback was instrumental to polishing my talk. She pointed out where my explanations lacked specificity, and where they went on far too long. Her advice helped me empathize with my audience and understand exactly what I needed to deliver.”

    Michael L. Wong, planetary scientist and astrobiologist, Carnegie Institution for Science

  • “I was initially daunted by the prospect of compressing part of my work into a 15-minute format for memorization and delivery without notes. But Alex was wonderful at offering helpful and encouraging feedback, zeroing in on muddy or unnecessary passages in my text, and helping me find succinct and recognizable examples to further illustrate my thinking. Her support was great for my morale, and she helped speed along elaboration and revision processes.”

    Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and former US Poet Laureate

  • “This was my first time working with a writing coach, and it was a wonderful experience! Alex was incredible at helping me distill complex research ideas into succinct, informative, and interesting explanations. She is extremely responsive, kind, patient, and skilled. I could not have asked for a better writing coach.”

    Kaleda Denton, evolutionary theorist and Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow, Santa Fe Institute
