White Paper

Reframing Disruption: Strategic Internal Communication for Inclusive STEM Workplaces

My new white paper, “Reframing Disruption: Strategic Internal Communication for Inclusive STEM Workplaces,” examines how strategic internal communication can drive systemic change in STEM organizations. Drawing on secondary research, I demonstrate that internal communication isn’t neutral: it shapes workplace culture, employee experiences, and who feels seen, heard, and valued at work.

I share actionable strategies for moving beyond performative DEI to build truly inclusive cultures where disruption isn’t feared but embraced as a catalyst for growth and learning.
