I have over 20 years of progressive experience at the international level in fundraising, building strong media relations, strategic communications, branding, campaign design, crisis communications, social media and advocacy, including in the UN Secretariat. My skills lie in the ability to create a detailed communications plan; craft compelling talking points, messages and soundbites; I work closely with senior management to raise the organization’s brand and profile.
