This is one way you can reach me but, to be honest,

you’d be better served going this route.

a couple o’ clips just for you:

some clients who have really liked me.

 

As the interim communications manager for America Walks, I created blog posts, marketing collateral, social media content, graphics, and much more.

In this role, I created a new model for content creation, streamlined the voice of the organization, and helped further the important work of this national nonprofit. I also helped refresh and revitalize the organization’s SEO and social platforms to achieve maximum visibility in critical communities.


 

Washington State University was founded with the goal of making education accessible and integrated into the community. WSU Impact advocates for furthering that mission.

As the communications manager for WSU Impact, I’ve overseen a dramatic overhaul of the website, the creation of a brand book and voice guide, and the grown of our audience.

During the 2022 legislative session, WSU Impact and our members strongly supported critical bills which would make higher education more affordable, more accessible, and more relevant to students.


 
 

For more than four years, I worked as a consultant with the King County government. Specifically, I worked to craft messaging, email copy, and social media material for the King County Executive. In this role, I was responsible for helping create copy and content to spread big ideas — including information about changes to public transportation, important resources during a generational ice storm, and health warnings at the beginning of COVID-19.

I worked with King County Public Health, Metro Transit, Region Animal Services, and other branches of government to make information available and accessible to the public. I also helped write talking points and refine messages for press conferences.


Other assorted clients:

For the last six years, I’ve worked as a freelance political consultant. I’ve written speeches, talking points, email messaging, and social media material for candidates and campaigns, including campaigns for the city council and mayor of Seattle, as well as local and statewide ballot measures in Washington and Oregon.
