Communicate, connect and collaborate

Research-adjacent consultancy, training and facilitation

I work with individuals and research organisations to help them…

  • Communicate and share their research in accessible and engaging ways
  • Connect, collaborate and co-create effectively and equitably
  • Boost engagement and impact
Activities at a science fair

I’m a research communications expert, consultant, trainer and facilitator. I’m also the creator and host of the Research Adjacent podcast.

I’ve been working in and around research organisations for over 20 years specialising in engagement, events, education and communications.

I can help you change the world – even if that just means changing your own little corner of it!

Research Adjacent is a podcast that shines a light on the research-adjacent people, processes, and skills that go into making research successful. I’m talking about public engagement, knowledge exchange, outreach, project management, policy, research communications, publishing, funding, events, presenting, collaboration, facilitation, and the rest. New episode every other Tuesday.
