Translating science into influence
At SciComm Strategy, we bridge the gap between groundbreaking science and powerful storytelling. Specialising in marketing and communications for biomedical and life science organisations, and with expertise across other sciences, we help you share your discoveries with the audiences that matter most—from funders and policymakers to patients and the public.

Our deep understanding of scientific industries, combined with strategic communication expertise, ensures your message is clear, compelling, and credible.

About
Science Deserves Better Storytelling.
After more than 12 years marketing science to the public and securing government grants for groundbreaking research, I’ve learned one thing: great science can’t make an impact if no one hears its story.
That’s why I founded SciComm Strategy to help biomedical and life science organisations communicate their discoveries clearly, credibly, and compellingly.
I’ve been where you are—facing the challenge of translating complex research into messages that move policymakers, attract funding, and inspire the public. I know how vital it is to get this right, and how much is at stake if you don’t.
With my experience spanning scientific writing, PR campaigns, and grant-winning pitches, I’m here to help organisations and scientists focus on their research while I focus on their reach.
If you’re leading important, groundbreaking work and need support telling your story—whether through media outreach, social media strategy, or research communications—I’d love to connect.
Science changes the world. Let’s make sure the world is listening.
