I am a mission-driven communications leader and doer with 10 years of experience leading and executing communications for mission-driven organizations.

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. 

My expertise:

• strategy
• writing and editing for diverse audiences
• media relations
• digital content planning and execution
• social media management
• thought leadership
• internal communications
• news­letters
• research
• project mana­­­­­­­gement
• web content management
• graphic design

But wait! There’s more!

I published my debut novel in 2025. Sugar Beet is a coming-of-age adventure set in Turkey and Washington, D.C. Martin is a university student who wants to save the world when he interns for a comically disfunctional global non-profit in Washington, D.C. An incident gets him sent to Turkey, where protecting a coveted sugar beet crop with medicinal properties leads to action, adventure, and romance.

I had the pleasure of working with Ezra on several communications projects, including a much-needed website refresh, relaunching our weekly newsletter, and outreach for a volunteer fair. Ezra brought a well-rounded communications background to our small nonprofit. Ezra is thoughtful, creative, and a pleasure to work with.
