Hire the Best Climate Sciences Specialists
in the United States

I’m Natalie, a science writer and researcher specializing in ocean conservation. With a background in scientific research and marine biology, I have a unique ability to transform complex topics into clear, engaging content. Whether it’s writing blogs and articles, or compiling research reports and literature reviews, I take pride in producing well-researched, accessible material for my clients. Although my professional experience is rooted in data collection and research, much of my career as a biologist involved public outreach—giving lectures, speaking with diverse audiences, and finding creative ways to make science relatable. This hands-on communication experience is what ultimately led me to become the science communicator I am today. I’m passionate about crafting accurate, engaging content that educates and inspires, without sacrificing scientific integrity for the sake of sensationalism. Got a project in mind? I’m always open to proposals and I’d love to hear from you! I also offer: - Data entry services - Literature reviews - Copy editing - White papers Hourly/project rates are open to negotiation.

As an environmental scientist and a specialist in sustainability and native plants, I love to write about sustainable development, the environment, native and invasive plants, climate change, social justice, and renewable energy. I am impeccable with my research and a stickler for accurate facts, no fluff, and no BS. - I am a native English speaker with excellent spelling and grammar. I never use AI to assist in my writing, and all my work is 100% my own. However, I am happy to edit, fact-check, and add relevant references to AI work you have done. - I am proficient in Word, Google, Spreadsheets, WordPress, and more. - I am an experienced scientific researcher, conducting my own research as well as researching topics and analyzing data from others - I have up-to-date certifications in SDG, ESG, carbon tax, sustainable development, and social justice issues, with a passion for integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) into community engagement plans and sustainability and ESG reports where relevant. - I can perform greenhouse gas emissions calculations, perform ESG analysis, and produce sustainability and ESG reports from scratch, with all your company information, logos, designs, etc. that you want, and including suggestions for reducing carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency. I am also happy to edit your ESG and sustainability reports to help fine-tune them for consistency and accuracy and to enhance your sustainability goals, projects, and outcomes.

My professional background includes 6 years of environmental consulting on multi-million dollar restoration contracts, with both design and field work experience. I worked as an engineer on CERCLA projects for Department of Defense installations, ranging from early stage investigations such as preliminary assessments and site inspections to pilot studies and remedial action completion reports. This includes data management and research projects. I have a variety of field experience including groundwater monitoring and well installation, borehole logging and soil sampling, and indoor air and subslab sampling. I specialized in PFAS investigations to asses water quality and threats to human health and the environment. I also conduct a variety of project management and contract management activities. My passion for permaculture has led me to over 30 countries studying regenerative practices around the world, ranging from family gardens to full-scale farms. My most recent projects included implementing an irrigation plan for a community farm in Portugal, which allowed crops to be watered using gravity based trenches. My technical knowledge includes bioremediation, geology, hydrogeology, soil lithology and classification, groundwater and surface water flow, stormwater best management practices management, climate, and ecology. I completed farm school at Wild Willow Farm in San Diego, California in 2022 and studied integrated pest management, the ecology of cultivation, the food web, soil microbes, irrigation, and agricultural sustainability. In 2023, I began working with both the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and local California farmers to conduct energy audits. I analyzed existing energy inputs and the cost-benefits of renewable energy options to support USDA grant funding.

I am a Stanford-trained life and planetary scientist providing reviewer-level feedback to meet Science Magazine/Nature-level standards. I identify compelling narratives in any manuscript and shape them into publication-ready papers. As a former NASA Postdoctoral Fellow, I participate in grant review panels, edit proposals and Master/PhD theses. My own studies have been published in high-impact journals – checkout my portfolio!
