Creative + Thoughtful

More than a billion people are online world-wide today. People’s lives are becoming more interconnected, making the Web one of the most powerful communication mediums for social change. It is through this interconnectedness that one can now learn about critical issues of the day and the tensions that face our world, but most importantly, one can take action.

For more than a decade I have been a senior digital communications adviser focused on strategic communications, emerging technologies, and live event management. My work has garnered national and international media coverage; outlets include the BBC, CNN, C-SPAN, The Washington Post, New York Times and others.

Blending strategy, creative storytelling and emerging technologies I work with commercial, nonprofit, political and higher education clients to meet institutional objectives, create brand loyalty, and build meaningful relationships with global audiences. My areas of expertise include:

• Emerging technologies, social media, Web 2.0
• Information architecture, ux design, experience engineering
• Live event management, production, webstreaming
• Media relations, crisis communications, protocol and events
• Brand strategy, global positioning, interactive brand extension
• Ethnographic research, requirements gathering, usability testing
• Marketing, search engine optimization, analytics

I routinely lecture on topics ranging from pervasive to persuasive technologies, social media and the varied ways in which emerging technologies intersect with culture, society and human rights.  In addition, I am a senior associate with Georgetown University’s Institute for International Law and Politics and have served as a teaching assistant for a human rights course at Georgetown.
