Bio
Lisa Stiles
Among communications professionals, Melanie was among the best advising me how to translate my technical knowledge into effective engagment with the gauntlet of stakeholders in the field of nuclear science and technology, from concerned citizens to media, and local government leaders to policy makers at the federal level. She also helped me hone my communication skills for a variety of forums, whether I was engaging via a media interview, one-on-one conversations, an op-ed, a speech to executives in the nuclear industry, encouraging other advocates, or debating, what I call, career anti-nuclear extremists. Melanie built a wealth of technical knowledge in the energy industry, and the nuclear field in particularly. Perhaps even more importantly, especially when it comes to nuclear, because it is a sensitive topic for which rational discussion can quickly flash into emotional outbursts, she is aware when she needs more information and takes the time to investigate until she is certain she understands a topic before she provides response or recommendation.
