Hi, I’m Maya. I’m a science communicator, facilitator, and planner with experience in water resource management, ecosystem conservation, and climate resilience. I help environmental organizations hone their communication, collaboration, and program strategy so they can better meet their goals.

Services I offer include:

Writing & Editing

I help shepherd ideas into their best form, so that they get the attention they deserve.

Facilitation

I help people listen to one another, so that they can do their best work.

Strategy & Planning

I help organizations turn data into action and develop partnerships and funding options.

Maya and I worked together for several years leading partnerships focused on water quality and watershed restoration. She has the analytical and interpersonal skills to pull input from a large number of stakeholders and technical experts info into clear and compelling reports, proposals and presentations.

She is very thorough in her research and follow through to create a product on time. And she is genuinely enjoyable to work with!

Practically speaking, some things I can do for you include:

  • Writing and editing reports, briefs, blog posts, and other pieces for the public, technical experts, decision makers, and funders

  • Facilitating staff workgroups, meetings of subject matter experts, and public processes

  • Advising leaders on ways to a) position themselves to best meet their audiences’ needs, and b) turn those ideas that are always on the back burner into realities

    Does this sound relevant to your needs?
