Makario Sarsozo

I’m a senior storyteller, science communicator, and content producer passionate about advancing climate solutions and making complex ideas accessible through compelling storytelling. My work centers on translating climate and energy topics into stories that inspire action and drive engagement. With more than a decade in media and communications, I’ve produced, written, and showrun projects for National Geographic, Science Channel, Discovery Channel, and YouTube. My experience spans short-form digital storytelling, long-form television production, and multi-channel campaigns. I’ve also served as a communications fellow in the U.S. Senate, and as an environmental researcher with the NASA DEVELOP Program. I hold an M.S. in Environmental Sciences and Policy from Johns Hopkins University, with a concentration in International Environmental Policy, and a Clean and Equitable Energy Development (CEED) certificate from Yale School of the Environment. Currently, I volunteer as a NASA DEVELOP Mentor, CEED Program Ambassador, and peer reviewer for the Springer Nature journal. I’m also the Vice Chair of the Sierra Club DC Chapter, where I help lead the chapter and advance initiatives focused on environmental justice and local environmental policy.
