I've spent 15+ years helping smart organizations say smart things clearly. Most of that time has been in higher education and social impact work, including over a decade at several Stanford University research centers, where I did everything from internal comms to digital strategy to helping brilliant researchers explain their complex work to people outside the ivory tower.

Recently, I’ve worked with mission-driven organizations who know what they want to say but need help saying it better. Out of these experiences I founded a specifically climate-focused communications consultancy I named Hello Sol, because I always try to stay positive and welcome the challenges (and the good things!) that are to come.

To that end, I recently completed a Generative AI certification because I believe in understanding the tools that are quickly changing how we share and consume information.

I speak Romanian (really well) and Spanish (pretty well), and am learning ASL.

I have an MA in English from Claremont Graduate University and dual BAs from UCLA in English and History.
