I lead strategic communications and public affairs programs at the intersection of clean energy, infrastructure, corporate accountability and social impact.
For over 15 years, I've translated complex topics into narratives that move policy, shift public perception and drive measurable outcomes, including 9,000 MW of coal retirements across the Northeast with the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign. I help high-impact organizations see the big picture, then distill the tactical work needed to get them there.
I'm a creative problem-solver in ambiguous situations, decisive about priorities, and focused on turning company goals into work people can actually execute.
I’m currently based in New York City, but if you ask, yes I’ve probably lived there too.
