As part of FleishmanHillard's public affairs and engagement practice group, I provide in-depth analysis of policy and political issues to support clients in building their reputations with government audiences. I specialize in providing counsel to clients on how they can most effectively engage grassroots supporters, launch coalitions, work with influencers and build partnerships with external stakeholders to move the needle on political issues. I also serve as part of FleishmanHillard's core sustainability team and support clients in building their ESG communications strategies, announcing philanthropic investments to media, completing their annual corporate responsibility reports and in developing and launching corporate giving strategies.
