I’m a press officer and spokesperson working at the crossroads of politics, media and societal change. I translate politics, sustainability and social issues into stories people recognize — and journalists pick up. I’ve worked in parliament, local government and the private sector, tripling media impact along the way. I stay calm when news cycles accelerate. I build reputation, shape thought leadership and steady oganizations when crises hit. I take responsibility seriously, myself less so.
