What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead science communication and public engagement—turning research into compelling stories, running campaigns and events, and collaborating with researchers, policymakers, and communities to grow measurable audience impact.

I’m a results-driven Science Communication and Public Engagement professional with 7+ years of experience translating complex research into accessible, high-impact content across academic, corporate, and digital platforms. I develop communication strategies, manage multi-stakeholder projects, and facilitate public understanding through events, media, and digital storytelling.

Since founding Rumann Artelier, I’ve spearheaded 40+ virtual and physical conferences and webinars, delivered digital campaigns reaching 15,000+ online participants, and coached 50+ professionals and corporate speakers to strengthen stage presence and storytelling. I also support leadership development through people strategy consulting, combining research analysis and clear communication to improve performance, satisfaction, and retention.
