I joined Modern Fertility at the seed stage as employee #9, and built the communications program from the ground up through the company’s $225M acquisition in 2021. I led strategy and execution of the entire communications function, including narrative development, corporate comms, internal comms, consumer comms, media strategy and relations, CEO and CCO platforms, and more. My role also expanded to brand strategy, where I led advocacy, creator + brand partnerships, and creative campaigns, including Modern Fertility's inaugural brand campaign with some of the top women pro athletes.

I led communications and brand for Social Capital, whose mission is to advance humanity by solving the world's hardest problems. I was particularly focused on Capital-as-a-Service, where I expanded my role from traditional communications to help lead marketing, partnerships, business development and overall growth. I was also heavily involved with Discover, Social Capital's incubation/investment arm for deep tech startups solving hard societal challenges, as well as ongoing venture and exec comms.

I led PR and comms for CircleUp, the investment platform providing capital and resources to innovative, early-stage CPG companies.

Clients included Munchery, Facebook (New York corporate and engineering), Coursera, TIBCO and a range of others across enterprise, consumer and mobile.
