Cathy Angell, M.Ed.

Cathy Angell, M.Ed., is an established leader in the emerging field of science communication. She is the owner of Cathy Angell Communications and has taught more than 3,500 scientists, government officials, and educators how to communicate more effectively. Her trainings include science communication to non-scientists, communicating effectively with decision-makers, writing compelling grant proposals, facilitating effective online meetings, and giving dynamic conference presentations. She has recently added on-demand classes through the Cathy Angell Training Academy.

For over 18 years, Cathy worked for Washington’s Department of Ecology (through the Padilla Bay Research Reserve) and coordinated one of the most successful training programs in the country for coastal managers and public officials. She saw, firsthand, how presentation and curriculum design could either make or break the effectiveness of a training. When she pursued her Master’s degree in Adult Learning, she incorporated her passion for effective science communication and teaching into classes for scientists and others who work in the environmental realm. Within a short time, her classes gained state and national recognition for methods that are transformational and clearly effect behavior change. In 2014, Cathy received a national communications award from NOAA which is given out each year in her honor. She lives in Bellingham, Washington.
