I lead PRR’s language services team, providing our clients strategic advice about effectively reaching people who speak languages other than English, high-quality translation, transcreation, interpretation, and other language services. I also lead PRR’s facilitation practice, ensuring we include the right voices in the right conversations in the right way at the right time. This results in clients having the information they need to make the best possible decisions. I love supporting institutions and agencies effectively reaching marginalized communities, This includes facilitating conversations around issues that matter to them and to their communities. I value the opportunity to work with so many different projects, strategize with so many different agencies, and to learn how different groups and agencies conceptualize community outreach and communication. Out of the office, you can find me wrangling pigs and weeding on my small farm.

I am fortunate to combine my nearly 25 years of creative and marketing communications experience with a passion to motivate people, create spaces of community and belonging, and elevate social good. Leading the agency’s creative studio and marketing services team, I am responsible for delivering strategic, creative, and relevant marketing solutions to our long list of purpose-driven clients. Outside the office, I love to travel and travel to live, having visited 33 countries and six continents to date. I also love history and architecture, and when the two come together on any given trip (near or far), I am in my happy place. A healthy obsession with movies led me to the Seattle Queer Film Festival where I have volunteered as a member of the features screening committee since 2017.

I lead the research team to ensure our clients get the information they need to make well-informed decisions and serve their communities. I love that at PRR, no two projects are the same. Each client has a unique context and definition of success, so we tailor our approaches, customize our analysis, and develop actionable recommendations so our clients excel. Outside of work, I enjoy working in the garden using permaculture design principles and spending time with my family and especially my Great Pyrenees dogs and fluffy cats.

I manage communications and public involvement programs for several regional transit, water quality, and environmental projects. As a northwest native, I love educating my community about the public policy issues we face and projects that are transforming our City. In my personal time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and taking my husky, Don James to UW football games.

As PRR’s Managing Principal, I oversee our operations, accounting, legal, HR, and IT teams. I love that I also get to spend my time (or lead) on our employee engagement and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that support PRR’s mission to be an anti-racism company. When I have spare time, I’m traveling, entertaining, and spending quality time with family.

I am chiefly responsible for developing and executing strategies to help clients foster consensus-building outcomes and meaningful change. I have a passion for government relations and public policy, as well as for the on-the-ground engagement required to include community perspectives and experiences effectively and equitably in this work. Every day I come to work I’m constantly motivated to match the tireless commitment to professional excellence that my PRR team members demonstrate. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, perfecting my grilling skills, and rooting for my beloved Baltimore Ravens. I am also a huge political news nerd and Jeopardy fan, and can often be found on my couch alternating between flipping cable news channels and scanning social media platforms for the latest news, opinions and viral curiosities.

Creative Studio
I’ve been a designer at PRR for a long time, so I know a lot about our clients and our past work. As design lead, I play an active role in most of the design work done in the PRR creative studio. I love everything we do design-wise, from the Washington Department of Transportation to the DC Streetcar. Logo conception is probably my favorite task. I develop brands, establishing look & feel for projects, and creating layouts for ads, print and online materials. Otherwise, find me running around North Seattle and spending time with my family.

Day-to-day, my roles can range from field producer for photo and video shoots, to media strategist for client announcements, and direct mail campaign coordinator. I love the creativity in our work, and the mantra that the best idea wins. I always feel confident that we’re bringing our clients cool, tailored ideas that are a product of different styles of thinking coming together. Depending on the season you can find me rooting for Terps basketball (Go Maryland!) or catching up on Premier League soccer (Go Everton!). Other than that, I'm in class earning my Master's degree at night or trying to spend time with my family and friends throughout DC and Maryland.

One of my favorite parts of the job is anticipating and addressing issues before they become problems. My work focuses on developing and implementing multi-year public involvement programs to build and sustain stakeholder support for transportation investments. I love that happy hour with my coworkers is really happy hour with some of my closest friends, strategizing on behalf of our clients because we actually like talking about our work. This sentiment carries over to my volunteer organizations like the Women Transportation Seminars (WTS). I’m also a Seahawks season ticket holder, triathlete, and San Juan islands’ enthusiast.

As deputy research practice lead at PRR, I enjoy helping clients better serve the community by understanding what people are thinking and feeling. I’m excited to bring skills honed through my Ph.D. in Political Science to my work alongside a stellar team at PRR—both in the research department and across our other offerings. Previous to PRR, I spent time studying politics of emerging markets and conducted fieldwork in West Africa. When I’m not at the office, I’m looking for any excuse to get outside or try new things. Whether it’s traveling, gardening, watching airplanes at the park with my daughter, or working on DIY home improvements, I try to stay on the move.

Vision statement of anti-racism.

An anti-racist PRR dismantles systems of advantage based on race when and wherever possible. We engage staff of all racial identities in dismantling white supremacy culture at work. This  includes personal ideologies, beliefs, and behaviors. And, it includes removing white supremacy culture from the systems, cultural messages, institutional policies, procedures, and practices that PRR and our staff interact with and inform. We believe it is not enough to be “not racist.” We must be “anti-racist.”
