Some clients come to me with a problem:
“We know the science — but we don’t know how to tell the story.”

I help you find the narrative that ties it all together: your audience, your message, and the emotional core of your work.

Whether you’re shaping a campaign, building a lab’s digital presence, or developing curriculum, I help you clarify your story — and your strategy for sharing it.

  • Do you have a general idea and goal for your science communication efforts but have hit a roadblock in your development? I can help you narrow your focus so you remain on track to reach your impact goals.

  • I help you come up with research question to evaluate how your media or SciComm project impacted your target audience. I can conduct focus groups and qualitative research, and work with target communities for dissemination and feedback.

  • For those who are seeking credible sources to inform the development of their science communication efforts or the process of how to design a SciComm research project.

  • For students who are seeking mentorship or guidance with their SciComm efforts.

    Or for student interested in how to pursue a career in science communication.

  • Dr. Stephanie Castillo is the kind of person every leader dreams of bringing on as their key full-time hire.

    She is the total package—creative, detail-oriented, hard-working, and able to cut through ambiguity to get things done. Beyond being incredibly effective, she’s easy to work with, fun to talk to, and communicates with intention.
