What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead science communication, public engagement, and strategic campaigns that make research accessible, strengthen institutional visibility, and connect researchers, policymakers, and communities.

I've led communication campaigns, conferences, webinars, and science storytelling through Rumann Artelier, reaching more than 15,000 online participants and facilitating over 40 virtual and physical events across Africa.

My work spans Mawazo Institute's Climate Week 2022, podcasts featuring female scientists, and CarbonEX's carbon-trading communication strategy. I translate research into accessible content while building engagement among researchers, policymakers, communities, and digital audiences.
