Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

American Bible Society is one of the nation’s oldest nonprofits. As the organization’s communications lead, I oversaw a talented team of 8 marketing and content professionals, responsible for driving our organization's communications and publishing strategies. I coordinated earned and owned media efforts and also supported with executive and internal communications. Going beyond my official job description, I actively engaged in coordinating communications training and facilitating skill sharing initiatives for our international colleagues operating in over 240 countries and territories.

I helped launch a proactive media strategy for American Bible Society, leading a team to earn placements in outlets like Fox News, Christianity Today, The Atlantic, WHYY, and CBN. During my time in the role, the organization went from little name recognition ("Who is ABS?") to reporters reaching out for comment on our core topics. In 2021, I also helped launch the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center—a $60M interactive history center on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall.

In previous roles at ABS, I led branding and creative projects for internal clients, wrote everything from event collateral to social content, and ran the company’s magazine with a circulation of 250k+.
