As a partner at PLUS Communications, I help lead the firm's public affairs practice, where I work with businesses, associations, and other organizations across various industries to tell their story and meet their public policy goals. With more than 25 years of experience working in Washington D.C. and on some of the country's top political and public affairs campaigns, I have a proven track record of providing strategic counsel, public affairs campaign management, crisis communications, and media relations services to Fortune 500 companies, trade associations, governments, and non-profit organizations.My work spans areas such as financial services, public health, trade, agriculture, transportation, immigration, and foreign policy, where I successfully execute strategies that influence key audiences on a local, state, and national level. Business Insider recently named me one of the top crisis communications experts in the country, and top political analysts have praised my professionalism and loyalty. Before joining the private sector, I worked on Capitol Hill for over 15 years, serving as the chief communications strategist for U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), a member of the Senate GOP leadership team, and as the communications director for a key congressional committee and several members of Congress. I am passionate about using my expertise and experience to help clients navigate complex, challenging issues and achieve their public policy objectives in Washington D.C., and state capitals around the country.
