Angela Nicoletti

I am an award-winning storyteller with over a decade of experience working in communications, media relations and speechwriting. As FIU’s science communicator, I get the chance to do what I’ve done since I was a child — be curious (about everything!) and tell stories about FIU’s amazing research and innovation through a variety of different platforms — the FIU Research Magazine, FIU News, press releases and more. I also work closely with our researchers to communicate about their own work through social media, as well as opportunities like The Conversation.
