What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my public affairs, regulatory analysis, and stakeholder engagement experience to complex policy challenges, particularly in geopolitics, European affairs, emerging technology, AI governance, defence, security, innovation, and competitiveness.

I've led communications and stakeholder support for major housing, transport, infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives at Oregon Metro, the regional government of Greater Portland.

I prepare briefing materials, key messages, and public-facing content for politically sensitive projects, advising leadership on strategic framing, risk communication, and public support. My work also includes coordinating multilingual communications with policy, consultation, and legislative timelines.

Earlier, I assessed healthcare and telemedicine compliance at LegitScript and stabilised operations during a sensitive organisational transition at Q Christian. Seventeen years in journalism, including reporting for NY1 News, Newsweek, The Daily Beast, and Siglo Veintiuno, shaped my approach to narrative framing, institutional communication, and cross-cultural engagement.
