Second area of study: Popular culture
"I help top non-profit organizations and foundations utilize strategic communications to spark change. I enjoy the fast-paced environment of my firm where no day is the same, and appreciate the opportunity to work with and learn from many experts in various fields–from voting rights to child care to reproductive justice to philanthropy. My background in journalism helps me provide valuable guidance to clients, especially around how to position organizations and C-suite members as thought leaders. I regularly craft powerful and newsworthy messaging that helps clients break through the crowded news cycle. In particular, I enjoy preparing clients for interviews and helping them know what to expect when interacting with a reporter. I've secured coverage on behalf of clients in top-tier outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Today Show, USA TODAY, Fortune, Axios, and many more. I enjoy knowing that my work is making an impact and helping people live a better life."
