"Brian worked with us as a paid intern for a few months and right from the beginning he stood out with his energy and professionalism and positive attitude. He generated several quality products including a professional video clip on one of our more complex science projects that was truly inspired. If I had the funding and position open for another talented science communicator I would hire him immediately."

- Dorit Donoviel, Ph.D, TRISH Executive Director

"Brian served as a communications intern at TRISH, where he quickly established himself as a reliable and enthusiastic team member. He approached every assignment with eagerness and a collaborative spirit, and his creativity consistently showed through in the quality of his work."

"Whether developing content, supporting campaigns, or assisting with day-to-day communications tasks, Brian brought fresh ideas and followed through with professionalism. He was a pleasure to work with, and I’m confident he’ll be a valuable asset to any communications or marketing team he joins."

-  Rachael Dempsey, TRISH Chief Operations and Communications Officer

"Brian is ambitious and an incredible self-starter. As a communications fellow/intern at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), a NASA cooperative agreement, Brian contributed significantly to our small but mighty team. He was always eager to jump in and take on new projects and tasks and see them through to completion. TRISH is a place where new ideas and concepts are welcomed and valued, and Brian showed up with many - some even ready to be fully executed. We are sad to see him leave at the end of his internship with us, but excited to see where he may go and spread his wings."

"During the handful of months I've known Brian, he's grown into an excellent science communicator. As his manager and supervisor, I would highly recommend Brian."

- Madison Hever, TRISH Communications Manager

"I worked with Brian at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health in spring of 2025. Brian has an intense enthusiasm to tackle any task or project that is asked of him. He looks to find creative solutions that result in tangible benefits that benefit the team and is always eager to find interesting ways to capture content. Whether it be video editing, graphic design, copywriting or any other form content creation, Brian is able to provide a quality product that was an impactful purpose for whichever institution he is at. I highly recommend Brian for any employment opportunities!"

- Aaron Nieto, TRISH Senior Communications Associate

"I hired Brian from a highly competitive search for a Science Communication Fellowship for the Institute in summer of 2025, which earned him an 8-week fellowship. I have been working with Brian since August 2025 and meet with him once to twice per week virtually to plan the outreach campaign and give feedback on his content creation. He has produced several excellent science promotion YouTube videos for IMSI highlighting our research and researchers, which are high-quality and professional and are lauded by the IMSI faculty and executive committee. His product is crisp, clear, and engaging, and he takes feedback well. Brian’s work was so helpful that we created a new extended fellowship for him to continue his work for a further 16 weeks."

- Christian Hubicki, Ph.D, UCI IMSI Scientific Outreach Coordinator

"As IMSI's Science Communication Fellow, Brian has been an invaluable part of our team, growing our social media presence, conducting and recording interviews with our scientific staff and trainees, and skillfully translating complex scientific ideas into engaging, accessible content for non-expert audiences. He is personable, motivated, dedicated, and a joy to work with. His talent and hard work have significantly strengthened our ability to share our research with the broader community."
