At the Lot:

Working at the intersection of government relations and strategic communications, I believe strong relationships are built on trust. On a daily basis, I work to earn my clients' trust by getting in the trenches with them as they navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic legislative environment. I pride myself on developing a complete understanding of the nuances of each client's business and building plans accordingly. No two businesses are alike, and I think trust is built when a client feels like their unique needs have been considered and creatively solved for. Part of my approach is rooted in curiosity – about clients' challenges, goals and the expectations of their stakeholders. I'm inquisitive by nature and believe this attribute engenders trust, unlocks new ways of thinking and ultimately drives results.
