Strategic Communications Leader
Climate, AI, High-Growth Tech

Building leadership voice, brand credibility, and communications systems that scale.

About me

Known for translating vision into clarity and bringing calm, structure, and focus to fast-moving teams.

I’m a high-energy communications executive who helps leaders and companies tell clear, credible stories, especially in times of growth and change. I’ve led communications across climate tech, AI, and high-growth startups, partnering directly with founders and CEOs to build trusted narratives that drive visibility, alignment, and action.

My experience spans executive communications, media relations, internal messaging, and brand strategy — from steering organizations through layoffs and pivots to helping them claim industry leadership positions. I thrive where clarity matters most: at the intersection of innovation, impact, and storytelling.

Currently based in Seattle, I’ve worked with mission-driven organizations like LevelTen Energy, Convoy, and Mothership, helping translate complex ideas into messages that move markets, investors, and employees.

I’ve built and led communications for organizations across every stage — from early startups to global enterprises — in sectors spanning tech, sustainability, logistics, and energy.

  • High-growth leadership: Built communications systems, narratives, and teams that scale.

  • Executive partnership: Trusted advisor to founders, CEOs, and C-suites.

  • Storytelling with impact: Delivered global media coverage, brand visibility, and internal alignment during high-stakes moments.

I love helping leaders and teams find the words that bring clarity, confidence, and connection in moments that matter most.
