HUMAN INTELLIGENCE + AI TOOLS

Better communications
means bigger impact

I’m a writer, editor, and trainer for leading social-change groups

The better you communicate, the better you raise money, build power, and create change. No matter what your organization wants to communicate, I'll help you do it even better. That might mean:

  • Training your team how to write great stories, clear prose or winning grant proposals. 

  • Using AI to create better comms—not more AI slop.

  • Building a communications training program.

  • Creating a communications strategy to power up your work.

  • Writing or editing anything from punchy marketing copy to long reports. 

  • Facilitating conference sessions on shared purpose.

I value the work of my clients and colleagues, and I deliver my best work—on time.

LAUNCHING IN 2026, MY SOCIAL-IMPACT COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE

What Can I Do For You?

I bring creativity, team spirit, and many years of experience with the United Nations, philanthropy, academia, and grassroots groups. I have master’s degrees from Harvard Divinity School and the Harvard Kennedy School. See my LinkedIn profile.

Training + Coaching

In person or online, in groups or one-on-one, I offer customized communications training to bring out the best in your team. Check out the menu of communications workshops I offer, from storytelling to public speaking to AI tools and more. I’ve worked with United Nations staff from around the world, and I wrote a guide on “Storytelling and Social Change.”

Writing +
Editing

We’ll get to the heart of your work, and that means you’ll build more support and create more change. Read some of my reports, web stories, strategy guides, and more. Clients have included many United Nations agencies, Active Voice Lab, Philanthropy New York, and others.

Strategy + Research

I work with foundations and nonprofits to create action plans for maximum impact—combining deep sector experience and smart use of new tools. Clients have included Echoing Green, the Ford Foundation, and the Stupski Foundation. I researched and wrote grantmaker strategy guides for GrantCraft and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (see the “Writing” page). I was a researcher for the renowned playwright-actor Anna Deavere Smith.

Creative Work

I make collages, photo series, short videos, and other creative work.

Check out some of my projects.

Previously, I’ve worked in storytelling forms such as radio, theater, documentary film, and oral history.
