Alexis OBrien
New York State
Studied politics in undergrad but learned how politics really works while working for Senators Mikulski and Clinton on Capitol Hill. Then continued my career working for an NGO which focused on mental health. Helped them write and launch a report focusing on the states with the best mental health systems nationwide. From there moved to NYC to work for the Fortune 500 PR firm, Porter Novelli. Followed by a year-long contract with the Embassy of Canada in Washington DC as a Press Officer where I staffed the Embassy for the 2008 US Inauguration Celebration. Most recently, completed a four year contract as a Media Relations Consultant for the World Bank based in Washington DC. As part of my contract was asked to travel to Istanbul, Paris and Tokyo.
