I design and implement comprehensive external and internal communication strategies that elevate DC Vote and DC Statehood to varied audiences using tactics and channels including: web, social media, earned media, events, search engine optimization, collateral, etc. Additionally, I set quantitative and qualitative metrics and results to evaluate the effectiveness of communications strategies and ensure quality standards. Moreover, I proactively seek, compile, and report on feedback from recipients, both internal and external, while being able to present results against deliverables. Working cross-departmentally, I create strategy and lead response for crisis communications and issues management. I serve as internal expert of communications content for DC Vote, including keeping up-to-date on coalition messaging, participating in coalition-wide DEI initiatives, and staying informed of all aspects of political and legislative issues as they pertain to DC autonomy and voting rights. Finally, I provide strategic guidance and execute all organization communications, including but not limited to serving as a public spokesperson, participating in public debates, internal and external newsletters, press materials, digital campaigns and other collateral.

Communications Director and Press Secretary

May 2020 - Feb 2021
Here, I exhibited communications virtuosity to meet organizational objectives and media-related courses of action for former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's PAC after he exited the 2020 presidential primary race. To explain more, I integrated a strategic media plan to support progressive candidates that were often overlooked by the national Democratic Party. I pitched to numerous national and regional media platforms, including CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, BloombergTV, Bloomberg Print, Associated Press, WBUR, and WABE, for publicity and organizational promotions. Correspondingly, I proficiently brainstormed a media plan for the launching of the podcast "Being American" featuring high-profile and/or high-impact people with thoughts on what it means to be an American during the tumultuous year of 2020. I also traveled with the governor for the electoral campaigns of the US Senate candidates during the 2020 election cycle.
