Helping mission-driven teams tell better stories.

I work with organizations to turn technical concepts into compelling stories. Let’s work together to find your organization’s niche and bring clarity, creativity, and strategy to your content.

What I Do​

I support mission-driven teams with strategic communications across the spectrum of content creation, from strategy and messaging through writing and production. My work lives at the intersection of research, writing, and design.

01

Strategy​

When you’re not sure what to say or how to say it:
• Messaging & narrative development
• Content strategy & positioning
• Audience mapping & tone guidance
• Audit of existing materials

02

Writing​

When you have data but need a story:
• Science communication & translation
• Reports, slide decks, & white papers
• Grant support & donor communications
• Media relations & placement

03

Production

When you want to bring your story to life:
• Presentation design & visual content
• Short-form video production
• Infographics & data storytelling
• Interview scripting & editing

Hi, I’m Alex.

With a degree in biology from the University of Chicago and years of experience in professional scientific communications and visual media, I specialize in helping organizations find their niche and communicate their technical work with clarity.

Whether it’s summarizing complex studies, crafting a grant-winning narrative to pitch your mission, or translating data into digestible visuals, I bring a science-driven mindset and creative eye to every project.

I work with nonprofits, startups, healthcare orgs, and mission-driven teams everywhere in between. I move fast, ask the right questions, and make sure everything is adapted to your brand and mission.

Built multiple polished presentations to communicate the burden of multiple rare diseases to a medical audience, distilling a wide variety of complex data into a clear narrative flow.

Value Proposition Development

Translated RWE into compelling, stakeholder-ready content for a mid-sized pharma team. Working in collaboration with Medical Affairs and Market Access teams, I created a suite of materials to define future value communication about a new product pre-launch.

If you’re looking for someone who can simplify science, communicate with clarity, and bring creative ideas to the table, I’d be thrilled to work with you.
