I am a seasoned communications expert, educator, and public policy analyst with over two decades of leadership across media, academia, and the nonprofit sector. As an adjunct professor at Regis University, the University of Colorado, and the University of Denver, I have taught courses in public speaking, media and public policy, opinion writing, and rhetoric, shaping the next generation of communicators and policymakers. In addition to my academic contributions, I am a columnist for The Denver Post, providing weekly commentary on political and cultural issues since 2013. I am a familiar voice on broadcast media, appearing on Colorado PBS’s Colorado Inside Out and serving as a guest host on statewide radio shows on KOA. My career spans roles from Senior Policy Analyst at the Heritage Foundation to senior legislative staff for Members of Congress, where I advised on education policy and advanced key policy initiatives.…I am a seasoned communications expert, educator, and public policy analyst with over two decades of leadership across media, academia, and the nonprofit sector.
