My Approach

I bring a unique blend of research expertise and public‑facing communication. I work collaboratively, and every project is a team effort. I bring a drive for writing, research, fact-checking and scientific rigour to the table. These partnerships help ensure palaeontology is communicated accurately and insightfully, from field discoveries to finished stories. With this shared foundation in place, I can help audiences connect meaningfully with deep time.

Consulting on science productions that spark curiosity has been a highlight of my career, and I approach each new project with the same passion that drives my outreach work. From prehistoric landscapes ruled by dinosaurs to the ecosystems of marine reptiles and pterosaurs, I help readers and viewers explore worlds long lost to time.

My focus is on discovery, engagement, and finding fresh ways to push scientific communication forward. I am committed to ensuring audiences enjoy the content they receive, that they are invested in it and that it encourages learning.
