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.

My areas of focus include…

  • Advocacy, Negotiation and Stakeholder Engagement
  • Integrated Public Affairs Campaigns
  • Legislative and Regulatory Analysis 
  • Strategic Communications and Thought Leadership Advancement 
  • Energy, Transportation and Technology Policy
