“I had the attitude that communication didn’t deserve the level of consideration and thoughtfulness that it does. Amy has transformed the way I frame and present information.”
M. Dailey – RECS Alumni – PhD Engineering Student
I deliver keynote talks and create customized learning programs. Along with becoming better presenters, participants gain skills for collaborating on diverse project teams, building trusted relationships, engaging with the public, serving as mentors, interviewing for jobs, and influencing decision makers.
My motivation to teach is fueled by the belief that now more than ever, our world needs experts who can collaborate productively, shape policy, share knowledge, and engage the public as trusted information sources. Many universities and government agencies need a partner to help fill the communication skills knowledge gap with cognitive science and science communication research-based approaches. That’s what I do.
Let me know how I can help.
