For two decades, I’ve helped foundations, advocates, and public agencies tell their stories. I translate complicated public policy into messages and campaigns that engage and inspire. As a trusted counselor to senior executives, I thrive working with leaders to realize their vision and navigate a steady course during a crisis. At GMMB, I specialize in early childhood and K-12 education, supporting clients dedicated to expanding opportunity for all students. I began my career in Democratic politics as a researcher and press secretary. My areas of expertise include executive thought leadership, writing, public opinion research, message development, crisis communications, media strategy, and managing teams for growth and impact.At home, I am passionate about urban agriculture and crafting the perfect pizza. I serve on the board of the United Way of King County and the Washington State Budget and Policy Center.
