Four ways to work together
Each engagement is scoped individually. All inquiries begin with a consultation.
Program Design & Development
Sustained science communication programs for R1 universities and science foundations — curriculum architecture, cohort models, assessment frameworks, faculty integration, funding strategy, and philanthropic partnership development.
Conference Strategy & Production
Virtual and hybrid conference design and execution — platform architecture, live production, speaker programming, and post-event analytics.
Keynote Speaking
Evidence-grounded keynotes on responsible science communication, public trust, civic science, and the science-society interface.
Consulting & Training
Strategic communications guidance and hands-on media training for researchers, faculty, and R&D teams.
Building programs that become permanent institutional assets
Programs that advance the institutional mission
Kirsten designs programs built for institutional permanence — curriculum architecture, cohort models, assessment frameworks, and faculty integration — connected to the funding mechanisms that sustain them, including USDA REEU, NSF broader impacts, NIH Broadening Participation, and private foundation grants.
Advancing civic science through field-building
Her work sits at the science-society interface that foundations like Rita Allen, Kavli, Burroughs Wellcome, and Doris Duke invest in: civic science, inclusive engagement, evidence-based practice, field capacity, and impact measurement.
