At the Lot: ‍

From working in public affairs from all angles, I have learned that it has never been more important to proactively and consistently tell your story, because if you don’t, someone else will. I put research, the ability to translate complex policy issues, and dogged execution at the heart of advocacy campaigns to help clients effectively communicate with a variety of stakeholders and win policy and regulatory battles. I am a proven collaborator who believes deeply in the power of teamwork, organization — and yes, laughter.

‍

My areas of focus include… 

• Integrated Advocacy Campaigns
• Research-Backed Policy Communications
• Coalition Building and Third Party Recruitment
• Earned Media Strategies
