Profile

A detail-oriented editorial mind with five years at the intersection of science, storytelling and project delivery.

As Senior Project Manager at Science Animated (Karger Publishers), Rebecca acts as the primary client contact throughout the full content lifecycle — from initial briefing and editorial development through script, storyboard and final production. Her clients include the University of Oxford, Pfizer, the United Nations, Cardiff University, PRIME Education, and the British Paralympic Association.

What sets her apart is an editorial instinct honed through academic publishing in Rotterdam and Leiden: she doesn't just manage projects, she shapes the content. She edits scripts for clarity and audience alignment, leads iterative review cycles, and translates feedback between stakeholders and creative teams with precision.

She introduced a dedicated script-stage QA process that improved accuracy checks before production, and established a new accessibility audio description capability — expanding what the studio could deliver for inclusivity-focused clients. She has led projects ranging from a £10k agile nanoparticle investor animation to a £55k Grifols 3D autoimmune therapy series localised across five international markets.

Her editorial work on a University of Sussex research project was cited as a decisive factor in that client winning the 2021 Campbell Collaboration Farah Jamal Award.
