About
Thinking strategically about the ways in which information is produced and shared - both internally and externally - is essential when trying to improve lives and create social change. After all, success in movement-building, norm-shifting, fundraising, or winning campaigns almost always hinges upon establishing trust and sharing knowledge through the effective distribution of information.
Building on my substantial experience as a communications director, I am quick to understand an organization’s challenges and highly qualified to provide outsider objectivity and expertise. Additionally, as a former award-winning journalist, I am a skilled storyteller and possess an advanced understanding of how the media works, which I am delighted to put to use in support of mission-driven initiatives.
I have significant experience working on the following topics:
- Climate change mitigation and financing (4 years at Greenpeace International, followed by several consulting assignments)
- Financial transparency and tax justice (3 years at the Financial Transparency Coalition)
- Free speech and ending the spread of disinformation (extensive consulting with PEN America and Avaaz)
- International human rights (communications director at the Center for Justice and Accountability, followed by consulting)
- Women's Rights (a year-long World Bank project on women's financial inclusion in developing countries and several consulting projects on women's rights and climate change).
- Branding
- Communications for events (both virtual and in-person), including press conferences, retreats, launches, and summits
- Designing a robust Theory of Change
- Developing a Communications and/or Advocacy Strategy
- Editorial calendars and quarterly plans
- Internal communications optimization
- Media outreach
- Newsletter set-up and design
- Social Media management
- Storytelling
- Videos, annual reports, website content, and reports
I look forward to working with you!
