E&C Enviroscape (Marine and estuarine ecology (incl. marine ichthyology))

Rhode Island, USA

I enjoy distilling scientific information into simple and clear communication products. In 2014, I established E&C Enviroscape to assist clients in communicating scientific results, syntheses, and assessments to stakeholders. My work includes participating in the planning and implementation phases of research, guiding data analyses, and developing reports, presentations, and other communication products. Through E&C Enviroscape I've partnered with scientists, managers, and planners at academic institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and businesses throughout the US.
