Creative Science Communication
& Consultancy
Bridging Art, Science & Public Engagement
Empowering researchers to communicate science—and families to grow the next generation’s science capital—through creative content and hands-on learning.
I am a freelance consultant specialising in Creative Science Communication, content creation, and public engagement for academic and research projects. With a PhD in Theatre & Education and extensive experience working with institutions across the UK and EU, I translate complex ideas into accessible and engaging content for diverse audiences. I am also a guest lecturer at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), where I teach the module Interdisciplinary Science Communication.
I collaborate with interdisciplinary teams internationally to develop compelling multimedia content, co-create hands-on exhibits and educational interventions, refine scientific communication material, and enhance public engagement.
​
And for the next generation of curious minds...
Science capital—the knowledge, experiences, and connections that shape how people relate to science—starts early. Through my personalised STEAM consultancy, I help families build enriching, out-of-school activity plans that nurture children's curiosity and confidence in science and art. Each plan is tailored to the child's age, interests, and local opportunities, making science relevant, accessible, and fun. Whether you're a parent or an educator, this service supports the development of lifelong learners who feel that science and art are for them.

​​Women and Climate Change:
Co-Creating for a Just TransitionConference
Location: Athens, Greece​
Language: Greek​​
​
Women* are disproportionately affected by the multiple impacts of climate change in different areas of their lives as individuals and as citizens. Women's groups are helping to bring climate cases to court and reform public policies about climate change. In an increasing number of countries around the world, these groups are playing a catalytic role as they appear to hold the keys to socio-economic and thus cultural and legal transition and balancing.
The proposed action will provide a platform for experts and specialists in different fields related to this topic. Starting from the collection of personal experiences, memories and ideas with the aim of co-creating a collective artwork, the action will focus on a) presenting in a simple, understandable and interactive way the existing legal framework and the legal tools to be used, b) exploring how each member of a society co-constructs the space in which they operate and the perspectives for creating new tools.
*The general term “women” is used due to its connection to conventional terminology. However, this choice does not signify the exclusion of other gender identities, nor does it imply uniform experiences, challenges, or discriminations among individuals falling within this delineated category.
