In my current role at the Global Resilience Institute, I lead research communications across a portfolio of multidisciplinary climate resilience initiatives. As part of a NOAA-funded initiative, I managed climate adaptation research in micro-communities throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands and developed corresponding communications materials — including a video presented at a regional resilience conference and an interactive ArcGIS StoryMap — to convey to NOAA officials what community climate adaptation looks like in practice.

Working closely with hydrologists, researchers, and community partners, I helped make NOAA's National Water Model — a highly technical forecasting system — more usable for non-technical users like emergency managers, planners, and local practitioners. The result was FloodSavvy, a resource co-developed with communities to present this technical information more simply.

I interviewed practitioners across six U.S. communities to identify where NOAA's technical outputs were too complex, then translated those insights into public-facing materials: articles explaining how FloodSavvy addressed those usability barriers, what the tool does and why it matters, community narratives documenting how practitioners use it in real-world contexts, and a step-by-step tutorial introducing non-technical users to the National Water Model itself.

In earlier communications work, I developed the following articles highlighting events and expert panels on different interconnected subjects related to climate resilience.
