Technical Storytelling:

• Translate complex work across re-entry, thermal protection, and hypersonic defense into clear, credible stories for technical and non-technical audiences
• Partner with founders and engineering teams to ensure technical accuracy and consistency of voice across channels

Measurement & Systems:
