I help mission-driven leaders, philanthropists, and institutions turn complex, emotionally charged stories into clear narratives that move donors, legislators, and the public to act.
My background spans academic research, public advocacy, and communications strategy. I work across philanthropy, higher education, animal rescue, reproductive rights, and social impact, writing for executives, foundations, and thought leaders who are determined to effect change.
At Compton College, I co-led a service-learning research initiative to improve student retention, secured grant funding, co-authored fifteen peer-reviewed papers, and guided students presenting at national conferences. That work taught me how to translate data and purpose into story and distill complexity.
My trauma-informed approach grew out of years of advocacy for sexual-assault survivors. In 2024, I addressed the California Senate on behalf of more than 200 women during the passage of AB 3092 and was named Woman of the Year by State Senator Henry Stern. That experience reinforced my belief that clear, honest language can change both policy and perception.
My work and commentary have appeared in The Washington Post, The New York Times, BBC, and CNN, but the real measure of my work isn’t visibility; it’s what the story achieves for the people it serves. Every project begins with a single question: what outcome do these words need to create?
I work best with clients whose communication matches their values. Whether I’m refining a grant narrative, preparing legislative testimony, ghostwriting a book, or narrowing down brand messaging, my role is to translate scientific complexity, complex trauma, and nuance into connection and change.
