🕵️‍♀️ Investigative journalist.
🗳️ US Senate campaign comms director
🎤 Speechwriter and executive communications pro
📚 Author, poet, speaker, activist, leader

I’ve served in every high-impact position a communications professional can hold — breaking stories that have shaken the halls of power; running guerrilla political and earned media campaigns against injustice and inequity; and crafting stories, speeches, and strategies that win hearts and minds.

Good comms is about more than a press release, a social post, or a newsletter. It’s about the heart of an institution, the spirit of a movement, and the soul of a people.
