Consulting and Advising Experience

Consulting and Advising experience

I have consulted for and advised multiple different stakeholder groups, including nonprofits, startups, large corporations, and government agencies. After a career of informally consulting and advising on all manner of topics around science and sustainability, I have now opened my own consulting practice.

While at King Philanthropies, I gained invaluable experience working with multiple nonprofit organizations working on regenerative agriculture, food waste, and blue carbon projects, as well as conducted scientific due diligence on several impact investments from renewable energy to carbon dioxide removal to ocean alkalinity enhancement.

While at Applied Ocean Sciences, I gained extensive experience as both a consultant and government contractor, working for everyone from non-profits fighting climate change to the Department of Defense protecting the safety of the ocean.

I was honored to be asked to be an invited guest of the U.S. Consulate in Brazil in Fall 2019 as part of their U.S. Speaker program, to discuss marine debris with Brazilian journalists, academics, and government agencies. The picture above is from that trip, where I gave multiple talks as well as being interviewed by one of the most prominent Brazilian newspapers, O Globo.

I have met with Indonesian diplomats and advised on plastic policy ideas for their country, presented about marine debris and bioplastics to Fortune 500 companies, and given formal input on Californian marine debris legislation. I have also consulted on the plans for a new marine debris research vessel and on the plans for multiple marine debris cleanup prototypes.
