I’m most excited to work on projects that… engage and empower new audiences to take action.
I’m looking for partners that can help me… with making technical and policy content come alive for non-experts and learning lessons from analytics
A moment when I felt most inspired in my work was… when NTI’s communications, data, and policy work came together to make tangible progress in the Nuclear Security Summit process.
