Reach out to me when your message deserves to reach a broader audience, or when your organization is navigating a high-stakes moment.
I provide steady counsel, help to clarify your goals and messages, and bring my passion to lift up your story.
Creating change requires proactive and purposeful strategy that is mapped to your organizational goals. Our partnership starts with your goals and culminates in measurable impact.

Positioning, voice, visual identity, and websites
Research translation, advocacy materials, policymaker engagement
High-stakes messaging, reputation strategy, real-time support
Newsletters, social media, campaigns, multimedia
How We Work Together
We'll begin with a conversation to clarify your goals, uncover opportunities, and map a path forward. Then I will draft a scope of work that outlines my approach, deliverables, timeline, and cost. Once we start working together, we will meet regularly to ensure we are aligned and on track to meet our goals.
Fractional role — I work as an embedded senior comms lead alongside your team on an ongoing basis. This works well for organizations that need strategic leadership and may not be able to hire a full-time position.
Retainer partnership — A sustained engagement that is focused on a defined body of work. This is ideal for campaigns, a launch, branding, or sustained media strategy.
Projects — A defined scope with clear deliverables and timeline. Ideal for a specific media moment, updating messaging, or a high-profile event.
