Welcome. I am Matthew Brown, a Biomedical Engineering graduate and lover of science communication. I seek to improve how science communication is done for not only you, my potential client, but also my readers, to educate and interest them in the sciences and the pursuits of scientists. The task of a science communicator should be to explain the mysteries of the world around us in a way that is not only comprehensive, but also accurate and engaging. My answer to this problem is through storytelling, an art that I have been practicing since my childhood. Some stories may be told backwards and some may be told from an unknown perspective, but all stories have a beginning, within which the reader is introduced to something, and an ending, where the entire scenario is concluded in a cohesive manner. It is my belief that, in all of the profundity surrounding science, the ability to create a story has been lost to all except a few notable communicators. Ideally, you would come to me seeking science or engineering design content that: explains the concept, engages your audience, and does not sacrifice in accuracy in the process. And, finally, I welcome you to look at my portfolio and my website for examples of my writing style. I am excited to help you with your projects and I look forward to hearing from you.

I have over 20 years of experience a teacher, curriculum developer and instructional designer. I have worked for Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland where I designed, developed and managed a wide variety of technologies in support of student learning. I have created entire courses in Articulate Storyline from an outline of talking points, powerpoint decks and other formats. I have created courses for Arizona State University, Nike, University of Illinois, Presterafx, Dialight, Strayer University, BuildED, GetWorkerFit, and Montgomery County Public Schools among others. I received my Master’s degree from the University of Maryland in educational technology and have spent a significant portion of my career managing, developing and maintaining learning technologies. I have both taught and developed distance learning courses for MCPS computer science teachers and have an in-depth understanding of learning objects, SCORM and xAPI models and the ADDIE design process. During my time as a technology designer I have learned quite a lot about different Learning Management System tools, including Blackboard, Canvas and Moodle and the process of online learning. It takes a team of dedicated people to create and implement a LMS environment. Bigger is not always best. Sometimes the most effective solution is the least complicated one. I view issues as challenges to be solved and while I don't always have the answer I know where to look to find it. I am an excellent problem solver and I know how to work with others to be successful.

For the past 7 years, I've coached clients in achieving confidence and security when it comes to building multiple income streams as entrepreneurs. They've conceptualized and launched service-based businesses, created online courses and eBooks for passive income and served clients globally. While working together, they've also adjusted their money mindsets to scale their businesses and become financially free within a matter of months to a few years. As an entrepreneur, you juggle numerous personal and professional responsibilities and projects. You also rely on the success of your business to fund your personal financial goals. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all your to-dos, we can work together to help you reduce overwhelm, organize your projects and build passive income streams. After just 8 weeks, most clients increase their net worth by a minimum of $3,000 USD and have launched a new high-ticket online course! I specialize in supporting individuals who have been running their own business for anywhere between 0-5 years. This allows us to work together while following a program I customize for you, tailored to your learning style and specific needs, so that you can have the confidence to effortlessly create a new income stream and scale your business in as little as 4 weeks. Q: What are the primary services you provide? A: I offer three primary services, based on my graduate training and professional expertise: 1. Online Course Design and Development: Based on your needs, I can help you upload course content, provide Canva templates with professional graphic design, manage your Moodle, Kajabi or any other LMS. Proofread your course content and consult on the segmenting and layout of your online course. 2. Business Strategy for Investors: Working with the KCC Agency, we can provide you with an expert Busines Plan, Pitch Deck, Pitchbook, Executive Summary and more to land investments for your start up. To date, our clients have received just over 100M in VC funding! 3. Money Mindset Coaching: If you're stuck in your business or feel unable to generate more income, working on your money mindset can be an excellent investment. My average client increases their net worth by $3,000USD with just two months of Money Mindset Coaching! Check out my some great testimonies of past clients, or send me a message to discuss what package would best support you.
