Animated Earth surrounded by illustrated viruses, from What Is a Virus?

Case study: Viruses, Vaccines & COVID-19

I was trusted as an uplifting voice to make the science of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and vaccines approachable. I narrated Viruses, Vaccines & COVID-19 for the American Museum of Natural History, an award-winning four-part animated series on how viruses work, how scientists study them, and how pandemics end.
