Interested in having me speak at your event or in your classroom? I’d love to hear more.

I’m always grateful for the opportunity to get to speak about storytelling, video creation, science communication, or how I find wonder in just about everything.

Previously, I’ve given keynotes at educational conferences, presented workshops for teachers, and spoken about all things sci-comm with high schoolers, and I’d be happy to consider speaking at your event as well.

Here are a few specific topics I can speak into:

  • Why wonder/awe is good for us, and how it’s different than blind optimism

  • How I create educational videos (and how you can do that, too!)

  • General Upper Peninsula geology and history

  • My research and storytelling process — how I turn niche information into compelling narratives

  • How I became a full-time science communicator (and how I ended up working on YouTube full-time)
