Download résumé ↓My work sits at the intersection of institutional reputation and human experience. I’ve supported national disaster response, helped researchers explain their work, and built communications functions for organizations with a public purpose.
Today, I build and run marketing and communications at School in the Square, a dual-language public charter network in Upper Manhattan. I lead brand and family communications, work with the enrollment team, and manage creative partners.
Previously, I led communications at FIU’s Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work and worked in national media relations at the American Red Cross and SOS Children’s Villages. I work in English and Spanish.
