• About Me

  I am a communications strategist and storyteller with a cross-functional background in public policy, technology, and humanitarian assistance. 

  For filmmakers and other creatives, I have worked with every form of copy imaginable—from helping write and edit scripts to press releases to web content. For example, I edited the scripts for a recent documentary on Citizens United, was a script and press consultant with Content.io, project managed and promoted Lemnos Labs' videos and podcasts, and assisted UNDP's video crew with a series on Growing Inclusive Markets. I also helped write and edit the New York Times bestseller Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond with John Prendergast and Don Cheadle.      

  As a consultant with technology start-ups and international agencies, including UNDP, UNICEF, and Mercy Corps, I have developed case studies, written and edited policy briefs, drafted speeches for high-ranking officials, and crafted communications strategies and materials for large-scale interventions.

  In addition to my work as a communications professional, I am also an award-winning poet and short fiction author.

  I'd love the opportunity to discuss how I may be able to assist with your communications needs.
