Communications for Mission-Driven Organizations
I am a communications leader and doer with 10 years of experience leading and executing communications for mission-driven organizations. I enjoy a good turn of phrase, creativity, strategizing, listening to teams’ needs, and executing them. I love to give and get credit, but I don’t like resting on my laurels.

Since 2018, my work has raised the profile of an international democracy-building non-governmental organization, a D.C. area youth services non-profit, and a financial inclusion think tank. I come up with fresh ideas and possess the drive to see them come to fruition.
I also have significant international experience. I lived and worked in Turkey for over seven years and earned my master’s in international affairs at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy.
Let me make a difference in your communications effort so you can focus on making a difference in the world. I’m based in the Washington, D.C., area. Let’s talk.
