I don't just advise organizations, causes, or campaigns—I build winning movements.

Throughout my career, I've helped shape national conversations on public health, democracy, education, and servant leadership, while leading strategic communications, political strategy, and leadership development that helped elect 15 members to Congress.

I've worked with multinational brands, national nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and political campaigns, offering strategic guidance on messaging, branding, and public engagement. Previously, I held senior leadership roles at 314 Action and New Politics.

At 314 Action—the nation's leading organization for electing scientists and STEM leaders—I served as the National Communications Director, leading media strategy, crisis communications, and branding.

At New Politics, I served as Senior Advisor and National Political Director, recruiting and advising congressional candidates, developing strategy, and guiding their high-stakes campaigns to victory.

Earlier in my career, I led teams at education nonprofits, overseeing partnerships and multimillion-dollar budgets to drive measurable, lasting impact.

My insights have been featured in ABC News, CNN, The Washington Post, POLITICO, Nature, and other major outlets.

💬 I'm passionate about political strategy, leadership development, and making a difference—and I'm always excited to connect with others who share that vision. Feel free to reach out!
