In October 2025, I was selected as an Emerging Scholar with the Center for Science Communication Research in the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication and awarded a grant for my project, "Bridging Science and Story: Participatory Science Communication for Estuarine Restoration and the Coquille Indian Tribe."

​

This project explores more participatory and culturally grounded approaches to science communication and builds on my dissertation research and ongoing collaboration with the Coquille Indian Tribe (CIT) to connect estuarine restoration science with community priorities and local knowledge. 

 

The research pamphlet below was developed as part of this project.
