A seasoned public affairs and stakeholder engagement professional, I bring with me over 15 years of experience spanning government, corporate, and nonprofit sectors. My career history reflects my commitment to advancing public interest through strategic partnerships and engagement. Having previously spearheaded community engagement efforts for Ocean Winds North America's multi-billion-dollar offshore wind project, Bluepoint WInd, and led successful public relations campaigns at award-winning PR firm, BerlinRosen, my desire is to continue working toward community advancement, and making a lasting impact through strategic engagement and collaborative action. I am acquainted with various levels of government, having also served as an agency spokesperson and publications editor for a New York City regulatory agency. Earlier in my career, I honed my diplomatic and cross-cultural communication skills as a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State, managing high-profile international initiatives and briefing senior leadership. I have a lifelong dedication to building bridges between diverse stakeholders, driving policy change, and securing support for critical initiatives. I hold a Master’s degree in Communication, Culture, and Technology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, magna cum laude, from Marist College.
