I work at the intersection of climate, comms & campaigning, with a focus on organizational management & leadership.
To navigate complex political terrain and a rapidly evolving communications landscape, judgment and innovation are essential. But while much changes, it's still true that the best campaigns have clear goals and target audiences—and a compelling theory about how to reach those targets and change their behavior.
My passion is winning game-changing campaigns.
Let me put my decades of comms, advocacy, and leadership experience to work for you. I'll support your team in planning a campaign, managing its implementation, telling its story, or assembling the talent and building the organizational infrastructure needed to win.

I take on values-aligned projects where I can make a difference.
What I do:
-
Strategy Development and Planning—getting input and buy-in from stakeholders, clarifying goals, targets, and theory of change, and identifying the resources and infrastructure needed to succeed
-
Campaign Management and Implementation—coordinating a team so everyone contributes they best they have to offer, ensuring smooth internal communication and adherence to deadlines, and adjusting plans as circumstances change, all while prioritizing maximum impact
-
Innovation—surfacing opportunities for new approaches that seize first-mover advantage in a rapidly evolving technological and communications landscape
-
Vendor Hiring and Evaluation—helping you build and maintain the strongest-possible team
-
Rapid Response and Crisis Communications—identifying and moving quickly to take advantage of timely developments and the news cycle, and navigating reputational threats to minimize harm
-
Creative Tactics—brainstorming and implementing tactics that help you "punch above your weight" by leveraging limited resources to get noticed and achieve results
