About Me

I'm a freelance writer and communications consultant based in New Haven, Connecticut.

I have a talent for helping people communicate their “big ideas” – clearly and concisely.

My career began at the NAACP, where I wrote speeches and thought leadership for senior leaders of the oldest civil rights organization in the US. For several years after that, I led the communications team at Village Capital and was responsible for managing our brand and strategic communications strategy, including media relations, message development, digital strategy and research reports.

In 2021 I co-authored a book, Letting Go: How Philanthropists and Impact Investors Can Do More Good by Giving Up Control. I’ve also consulted for a number of progressive non-profits, advising on strategic communications for campaigns around voting rights and criminal justice reform.

I have an MBA from Georgetown UniversityI’m a graduate of the University of Rochester, where I served as Editor-in-Chief of the school’s student newspaper.
