Brag about yourself - what makes you great at what you do?

I’m a communications and brand strategist with more than 15 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations clarify who they are, why their work matters, and how to communicate it in a way people actually connect with.

I spent over a decade leading communications and brand strategy at the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, where I worked across education, workforce development, health, and family economic stability initiatives. Today, I work with foundations, nonprofits, and purpose-driven organizations to shape messaging, strengthen positioning, develop thought leadership, and turn complex work into stories people can understand and rally around.

What I’m best at is finding the emotional and strategic center of an organization’s work and translating it into messaging that feels clear, human, and credible — not overly corporate or full of jargon. I’m both highly strategic and highly hands-on, which means I can help shape the vision and then actually execute the work.

What types of business contacts are you looking to make?

I’d love to connect with leaders of mission-driven organizations, foundations, nonprofits, Jewish organizations and community institutions, education and workforce innovators, healthcare organizations, and socially minded companies doing meaningful work in the world.

I’m especially interested in meeting executive directors, founders, communications and marketing leaders, development teams, philanthropic leaders, and Jewish community leaders who are thinking about growth, visibility, fundraising, public trust, or clarifying their story and positioning.

I also genuinely enjoy connecting with thoughtful people who care deeply about impact, ideas, storytelling, community, and building stronger human connection.
