I am a veteran speechwriter and strategic advisor who spent fourteen years helping Congressional Democrats effectively communicate their policies and achievements. I've crafted hundreds of speeches a year heard by audiences across the country and around the world and ghostwritten op-eds placed in the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, the Wall Street Journal, and other outlets. Their words helped shape the the national discourse on issues running the gamut from economic policy to national security and from voting rights to health-care access. Additionally, I've coached Congressional candidates on how to get their messages through to voters and win high-stakes debates, and in moments of crisis, I've drafted statements that made news and helped shaped the narrative. Understanding the critical intersection between traditional media and social media, I've collaborated on efforts to make sure that speeches delivered in Congress or at conferences resonate across different platforms to reach diverse audiences.
