Chasing El Niño

Video filmed at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) office in Boulder, Colorado, explaining how scientists track El Niño.

Learning Goal
This video was created to give students an inside look at how real scientists conduct their work. In collaboration with instructional designers, I helped identify key visual moments—such as a weather balloon demonstration—to effectively illustrate their process.

Using Chemistry to Keep Water Safe

Profile of a scientist at East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). Created for a widely implemented K–8 science curriculum used by schools nationwide.

Learning Goal
This video was created to give students an inside look at how real scientists conduct their work. In collaboration with instructional designers, I helped identify key visual moments—such as running tests to confirm safety—to emphasize the importance of testing.

Genetic Mutation Explained

An educational animation that introduces the concept of genetic mutations using a simple, relatable example—folded ears in cats. In collaboration with instructional designers, I developed this example as part of the creative strategy to make a complex topic more engaging and memorable for students. The animation uses this real-world trait to connect abstract genetic concepts with familiar visuals.

Created for a widely implemented K–8 science curriculum used by schools nationwide.

Learning Goal
To help students understand genetic mutations through relatable, real-world examples that enhance retention and comprehension.

Role: Scriptwriting, content development, storyboarding

Zooming In on Phase Change

An educational video that explores the concept of phase change by visually comparing molecular behavior in solids and liquids. The animation combines molecular-level visuals with real-world examples—like butter and oil—alongside temperature cues to help students grasp why different substances can exist in different phases at the same temperature.

Created for a widely implemented K–8 science curriculum used by schools nationwide.

Learning Goal
To help students understand the relationship between molecular structure, temperature, and phase differences among substances.

Project Management Online Course

Online course filmed and edited as part of a project management course. Courses typically contain 10-20 videos.

Worked with subject matter experts and instructional designers to plan, produce, and distribute videos.

Role: Scripting, videography, and editing

Wind and Air Parcels Educational Video

Demonstration for science students of how wind moves an air parcel. Created for a widely implemented K–8 science curriculum used by schools nationwide.

Learning Goal

This video was created to demonstrate how winds from different directions can work together to lift an air object upward. Motion graphics were incorporated to highlight key aspects of air parcel movement and make the concept more visually engaging.
