Joining hfp consulting in 2013, I am looking forward to a unique opportunity to contribute to a growing movement providing space for the subjective and emotional aspects of science practice. I wish to employ the skills and lessons I have gathered in my journey in the science and the arts for this exact purpose. In particular, I hope to reinforce in the scientific community three core values, which are at the heart of improvisation and playback theatre: listening, creativity, and cooperation.”
