Communications specialist with 20+ years of experience helping international organizations, media, and cultural institutions find their voice and use it strategically.

I work with organizations at the intersection of public good and complex ideas — international development, environment, arts, culture, policy, and business — that need to communicate with clarity and purpose.

That means understanding not just what you want to say, but why it needs to be said, who needs to hear it, and how to build a body of communication that compounds over time.

My background spans deadline-driven journalism at Reuters, editorial leadership on projects at the World Bank and major international research organizations, long-form magazine writing, and a creative practice in theatre and visual art.
