I am passionate about engaging with scientists and stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and increasing the accessibility of science. In collaboration with international scientists, I helped to create a bilingual public awareness promotional video for the Organization for Tropical Studies on the topic of women in field research in the summer of 2023. On this project I led the filming and video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have given talks about bee biology and pollinator science to City of Boulder organizations and programs focused on pollinator conservation, including: COOL Boulder, The Pollinator Advocate Program, and the Bee Boulder Festival.
I presented a public talk called Bee-Reel: Fact vs Fiction in Bee Behavior and Biology as part of the Fiske planetarium science under the dome talk series. I collaborated with navigators to develop a 40-minute show exploring how bees are depicted in cinema and how it compares to their true behavior and biology.
