Angela Becerra Vidergar, PhD

Writer. Teacher. Scholar. Creator.

Nice to meet you!

I am a writer, maker, educator, scholar, and media producer. I thrive in creative collaboration environments and love guiding my students and clients to follow their curiosity and put new ideas into the world.

 

I am currently Director for Curriculum Design of Stanford Solutions Academy and Director of Communications for Stanford Solutions, both in the Stanford University School of Medicine. I am also the founder and CEO of Cuentista Studio, bringing 20+ years experience in writing and speaking teaching and tutoring, podcast and video production, journalistic writing, corporate communications, and team management.

 

In my personal life I love reading, storytelling, space, LEGO, tabletop and video gaming, making art, engineering and other DIY projects with my family, and volunteering in my community.

Writing Portfolio

Notebook and Pen

“Making a sentence sing is a way of making others more likely to listen and ourselves more likely to be understood. A good sentence gives order to our thoughts and takes us out of our solitudes. It is a cure, however fleeting, for human loneliness and for the chronic gulf of incomprehension that divides writer and reader, just as it divides any two of us.”

Joe Moran

A children's podcast I host with my son that follows whatever paths we are curious about! It's a fun way to introduce youngsters to basic principles of research.

Research & Education

I am a literary and cultural scholar fascinated with the ways we react to and affect the world around us. I am especially interested in disaster and post-apocalyptic stories; the interactions between science, technology, and culture; multimedia storytelling; methods of narrativizing research; the rhetorical and cultural implications of space exploration; graphic narratives; and popular culture.
