My expertise is focused on de-risking new market entry, building essential goodwill with policymakers, and ensuring the brand narrative is resilient against regulatory and reputational headwinds, transforming potential public affairs challenges into opportunities for strategic alignment and growth.

I leverage executive experience, including serving as Press Secretary, Political Director, and Campaign Manager—where I managed crisis communications for high-profile, complex legal cases—to advise startups on proactive engagement.
