Four ways to work together

Each engagement is scoped individually. All inquiries begin with a consultation.

Conference Strategy & Production

Virtual and hybrid conference design and execution — platform architecture, live production, speaker programming, and post-event analytics.

Keynote Speaking

Tailored Engagements

Building programs that become permanent institutional assets

For R1 Research Universities

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.

For Science Philanthropies

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.
