If it has words, I’ve probably polished them.
Early in my career at the World Bank Group, I traveled the portfolio. Interviewing project teams from Egypt to women’s economic empowerment specialists to ghostwriting for former CEO Kristalina Georgieva video updates to staff. Those field notes became town hall agendas and scripts for leaders, and informed organizational priorities. I sat in the rooms where annual themes were set and then it was my job to reinforce and institutionalize them.
In 2020, I joined USAID, where my contributions to executive briefs helped former Administrator Samantha Power navigate her first 100 days. I also led the communications strategy and implementation for an enterprise customer relationship management system (CRM) that brought industry leads and relationship managers onto one platform, earned Technology Modernization Fund support and set a federal benchmark for technology adoption.
Alongside that transformation work, I supported USAID’s emergency management team on sensitive and urgent communications including evacuation guidance. Behind the scenes, I managed the back end and curated content for USAID’s Operation Allies Welcome and Ukraine-war pages to keep staff informed.
Since then, I’ve directed commemorations and memorials, produced employee engagement campaigns that doubled intranet click-throughs and built messaging playbooks and templates teams still use. My core value is strategy. I build communication plans, and when it’s showtime, I produce run-of-show materials for panels and events.
I’m a journalism graduate with minors in marketing and psychology. I’ve always been drawn to how people think and what moves them to act. Studying global problems put me at the intersection of communications and international development and having lived in the Middle East and surrounded by program officers from the world’s largest nongovernmental organizations providing aid, I found the work I wanted to serve: social impact.
