About Me

I'm a communications and operations professional with a background supporting non-profits, advocacy organizations, and security firms. My work sits at the intersection of clear communication, organized systems, and meaningful stakeholder relationships.

At NRDC, I coordinated 45+ annual campaigns, managed Salesforce-based donor tracking, and served as the primary liaison for hundreds of weekly inquiries. At Pinkerton, I produced intelligence briefs and coordinated rapid-response planning. Today I also volunteer as a paralegal and interpreter for refugee clients at Catholic Charities.

I hold a B.A. in International Relations from Tufts University (Dean's List) and bring multilingual skills — Spanish, French, and Arabic — to every team I join.
