About
After 16 years as a U.S. diplomat, I've learned a few things: crises don't follow a schedule, bad news never gets better with time, and "just one more thing" is never just one more. I'm a senior public affairs and operations leader who runs high-stakes operations under pressure: briefing senior officials during terrorist attacks, coordinating First Lady Biden's clandestine Ukraine visit, and managing coalitions across NATO and the EU during Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Syria's government collapse. My background combines crisis communications, platform integrity, and geopolitical risk. I've pressured Meta to remove Slovakia's top disinformation actor through Congressional engagement and data-driven advocacy. I've managed multimillion-dollar portfolios that measurably shifted public sentiment. I've led multi-mission messaging coalitions and helped secure parliamentary approval of defense agreements. Before Slovakia, I was embedded in Germany's Federal Foreign Office, representing German positions in NATO and EU coalitions, work that gave me an insider's understanding of how European institutions actually function. That experience positions me to bridge U.S. and European perspectives in ways few Americans can. I'm relocating to Brussels in summer 2026, where I'm exploring senior communications and public affairs roles with organizations navigating geopolitical risk, regulatory complexity, and crisis management in Europe.
