Communications director at the Arizona State Senate Republican Majority Caucus, shaping legislative messaging and producing Capitol Check-In video updates.

United States
Message

At the Arizona State Senate Republican Majority Caucus, I advise the Senate President and Republican caucus on public messaging, media strategy, and legislative priorities. I also help shape political strategy and guide communications projects across policy, communications, and broadcast staff.

I lead crisis communications and rapid response, preparing coordinated statements, talking points, and media responses on sensitive issues. I write speeches, releases, newsletters, and session highlights, and prepare senators for interviews and public remarks.

For Capitol Check-In, I develop scripts and guide production of recurring legislative video updates and member stand-ups. I also direct caucus digital content and video production, oversee website development, and create graphics in Canva.

Before joining the Senate, I worked in broadcast journalism, presenting forecasts and reporting news and community stories for Arizona’s Family, KPHO CBS 5, WYFF NBC, KVAL CBS, and KMPH FOX 26 / KFRE CW 59. My work has earned five Regional Emmy Awards and four Associated Press awards.
