About

The driving force behind my 20+ years of communications experience is a deep commitment to racial, socioeconomic, and environmental justice. As a communications leader, I began my career in the social movement sector from the ground up, steadily rising to senior leadership and strategic consulting roles. Over the past two decades, I have orchestrated numerous successful narrative shift, policy/advocacy, grassroots organizing, fundraising, and digital media campaigns.
