Craft messaging frameworks, storytelling strategies, and comprehensive communication plans that resonate with your target audience and inspire action. I work with clients to identify audiences and goals, leveraging the most effective tactics to communicate their message. By integrating thought leadership and organizational insights through digital platforms and editorial content, I help organizations build trust and strengthen their voice.
In times of crisis, I develop holding statements, response matrices, talking points, and interview Q&A materials to address sensitive topics and guide organizations through complex situations. My approach ensures consistent messaging, equips stakeholders with clear responses, and helps maintain credibility during challenging moments.
As a trained reporter with a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School, I bring expertise in health, science, and technology reporting. My work has been featured in outlets such as Outside Magazine, The Daily Beast, and Motherboard.
Storytelling lies at the heart of my strategic communications work. During my time with Hillary for America, I traveled across the battleground state of Pennsylvania to capture the voices of local activists, delegates, and supporters, crafting narratives that reflected the diverse character of the Keystone state. Whether producing delegate video stories or podcast episodes, I focused on elevating the issues that mattered most—opioid addiction, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant protections—while ensuring these stories resonated with voters. This experience shaped my ability to create messaging that inspires action and drives connection.
Additionally, my content writing experience includes creating blogs and newsletters. For the venture capital firm Lerer Hippeau, I showcased innovative startups and industry trends. For Solace, a Portland-based startup, I deployed an SEO-centered editorial and web content strategy, catapulting the company to the first page of Google search.
This blend of journalism and strategic communication allows me to craft narratives that engage audiences and deliver meaningful results.
