ANDREA VALE
La Jolla, California, U.S.A.
I am a multimedia science communicator, specialized in documenting ocean and environmental sciences. I follow researchers across seas, up landslides, onto glaciers, into caves, and most every corner of the globe to document their work. I use film, photography, and writing to make science and biodiversity compelling, understandable, and urgent to all audiences.
I have worked as a Specialist on the Science and Exploration Team at the National Geographic Society, a Video Engineer for the Ocean Exploration Trust, and as a simultaneous writer-photographer-filmmaker for the Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institute, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, International Ocean Discovery Program, Sitka Sound Science Center, and elsewhere. I’ve planned and undertaken filming, reporting, and research in remote, off-the-grid locations, often in high-stakes and difficult working conditions.
If you are a researcher planning fieldwork and want a communications outreach specialist to document and share your work with audiences, reach out to me - let's chat!
