Digital Communications & Strategy Lead

About me

I’m a digital strategist and communications leader with more than a decade of experience building and running complex digital programs. My work sits at the intersection of digital platforms, campaigns and content—helping organizations translate big goals into practical systems that reach and engage their audiences.

Over the years I’ve led large website projects, built campaign microsites and digital toolkits, and managed multi-channel communications programs spanning web, newsletters, social media and video. I enjoy both the strategic side of the work—defining structure, priorities and messaging—and the hands-on side, from coordinating designers and developers to building workflows, integrating systems and launching new digital initiatives.

Most of my work has supported advocacy and membership organizations operating at a national scale. I’m particularly interested in how digital tools can help organizations communicate clearly, organize complex information and make it easier for people to participate, learn and take action.

Areas of Practice

Digital Strategy & Program Leadership
I lead digital programs that combine strategy, communications and technical delivery. My work often begins by defining goals, audiences and messaging, then translating those priorities into structured digital plans—platform development, campaign initiatives and multi-channel communication programs that support advocacy and organizational objectives.
Enterprise Websites & CMS Platforms
I manage large web platforms from planning through long-term governance. This includes CMS architecture, vendor coordination, content structures, performance monitoring and ongoing improvements that keep complex websites stable, usable and aligned with organizational priorities.
Campaign Microsites & Digital Toolkits
I build campaign-focused digital hubs designed to mobilize audiences. These sites often include messaging frameworks, downloadable toolkits, participation resources and interactive elements that allow organizations to coordinate outreach and track engagement across distributed partners or members.
Multi-Channel Communications
I manage digital communications programs across web, newsletters, social media and video. This work focuses on coordinating messaging across channels, developing editorial calendars, and delivering content that supports advocacy priorities, public engagement and organizational storytelling.
Workflow Systems & Automation
I design systems that help organizations manage complex digital work. Using tools such as Airtable, APIs and workflow automation platforms, I build editorial calendars, content pipelines and tracking tools that improve coordination, reduce manual work and make programs easier to manage at scale.
Analytics, Reporting & Optimization
I implement analytics and reporting frameworks that help organizations understand what their digital programs are achieving. This includes dashboards, KPI tracking and structured reporting that translate web, campaign and audience data into insights leaders can use to guide decisions.
