Adam worked with academics in psychology, sociology, philosophy, business, theology, and history to produce analyses of important works in Western intellectual history. His role was to rewrite complex, wordy academic prose so that first-year college students found it accessible. This involved communicating with the academics to understand what they meant, doing additional research to add information that had been left out, and writing some sections from scratch.
In this position, Adam created content for the University of New Hampshire Health Services website. This role requires the ability to research and to write in ways that engage college students. Topics include mental and physical health, New England tourism, and community engagement. He authored 3 of the top 5 posts (by page views) in 2014-2015.

Adam has written informative pieces for websites, book reviews, and academic articles. He is a talented and persistent researcher, and he enjoyed taking complicated topics and creating accessible, engaging articles for a general audience. He has written about both mental and physical health, books, education, and technology.
Adam has written and curated content for a pre-college summer program blog whose purpose was to show parents what their kids were doing in seminars and on outings. His responsibilities were to take or gather photographs, write content, and to verify that each student was featured a roughly equivalent number of times over the course of the program. In all, he authored more than 100 blog posts.
