Change does not occur by simply noticing a problem. All social issues have a specific context, whether they be localized or global. To create change requires an understanding of both the framework in which people operate and make decisions and the stakeholders that create or hinder movement.

I have focused my career on solutions for international human rights and social justice issues. Creating strategies that encourage public engagement through strategic planning and communication, I work with communities domestically and internationally to develop advocacy campaigns that address government policies. Utilizing social marketing to improve development programs, I work with organizations to increase impact by changing behavior.
