• Expert writer and editor with the ability to translate complex technology, policy, and impact-driven work into human-centered, shareable narratives.
• Adept at media relations and coordination, excited to navigate press events and manage real-time community engagement.
• Self-starter who thrives in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment and takes ownership of their projects from concept to delivery.
