About

I am a communication expert with over two decades of experience spanning analysis, strategy, and execution. My expertise ranges from public relations and science communication to digital strategy, and from leading workshops and chairing panel discussions to program management and development.

I’ve worked for various private sector companies, public organizations, agencies, and NPOs. In 2016, I started specializing in science communication as the founding editor-in-chief of the Jacobs Foundation’s global multimedia platform BOLD – Science for Growing Minds, turning it into a highly regarded resource for evidence-based insights into human learning over the course of four years.

As an independent science communication and dialogue facilitator and consultant, I’ve had the chance to work with Akademie Für das Kind Giedion Risch, Children’s Hospital Zurich, Educreators Foundation, Frontiers for Young Minds, Institute for Educational Sciences by the University of Basel and FHNW, Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at the University of Zurich, Knowledge Pixels, Science et Cité, Science Europe, SNSF Swiss National Science Foundation, Taskbase, University Children’s Hospital Basel, and USZ Foundation. I have also had the opportunity to teach and speak at various universities (ZHAW, ZHdK, FHNW, MAZ, University of Basel, University of Zurich, ETH) as part of CAS modules, seminars, and lecture series.

In addition to my activities as an independent science communicator, I served as Lead‚ Science Communication and Outreach at the Laboratory of Developmental Neuroscience, Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development, University of Zurich (see also growing-brains.com) from 2022 to 2024. During the same period, I was also mandated to design and implement a new communication strategy for the Jacobs Center. I am the founder, host, and producer of the podcast SciComm Palaver. As a member of the Advisory Board of the think tank Reatch, I advocate for a science-friendly culture in which science and society pull together.
