Social impact and strategic communications team leader. Doing good is good for business.
With nearly 20 years of experience and expertise in strategic communications and campaigns, I advise companies, organizations and individuals on how to make a positive impact on the toughest social issues. I was previously the founding chief communications officer at Everytown for Gun Safety, where, in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, I helped build the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country that includes Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Michael Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Prior to that I was a vice president at Ketchum, a global PR firm where I provided strategic communications and reputation management counsel to major international corporate and government clients. Earlier in my career, I focused on media relations and message development for candidates and issues, as well as for public and private sector clients. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Stanford University and a Master of Science in Strategic Communications from Columbia University. I am an indigenous Latina, native of border town El Paso, Texas and now live in New York City with my family, including the two best kids in the world.
