Graduate Assistant

Professional Summary

I am a strategic communication professional with over three years of experience managing high-stakes client portfolios, building trusted relationships with C-suite stakeholders in sales, and developing communication strategies that drive engagement, loyalty and measurable results. Alongside my professional work, my background in health, environmental and advocacy has shaped my interest in how communication influences health, environmental and social outcomes especially in organizational setting. I am now particularly interested in an intersection between environmental and health communication, with a focus on patient-provider dynamics and the socio-cultural factors that shape maternal health decision-making and outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ultimately, I want to bring together my practical communication experience and research interests to develop evidence-based communication strategies that can improve health outcomes and proenvironmental behaviors to drive meaningful social change.
