Consulting Work
Government Affairs
The Federal Government can support your organization in so many ways, but navigating the vast and complex bureaucracy is often overwhelming. Whether your organization is working to identify Federal funding opportunities, to find domain experts, or to participate in Federal purchasing contracts, I can help you build and execute a strategy to achieve your objectives.

I have specific expertise in A, B, and C… Some examples from past work include…Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut mattis elit vitae quam pretium, a tristique orci posuere.

Communications Strategy
For candidates and elected officials, the media cycle often sets the narrative. Responding to and working within that narrative is essential to getting your voice heard and building your personal brand. My roots in politics come up through the media relations part of the operation, and between my Press Secretary work for Majority Leader Hoyer and my constant advocacy with the media as Congresswoman Niki Tsongas's Chief of Staff for eleven years, I've developed an expertise in helping to shape that narrative with reporters. Whether you need to strengthen your office's media strategy, or you need support with a challenging story that is developing quickly, I can help.
For businesses and non-profits, the media can be a powerful channel for building brand-awareness and driving demand for your goods or services, but the cost of entry with most PR agencies is often out of reach. If you’re an SMB looking to incorporate PR into your marketing mix, I can help you get an outreach effort off the ground at a cost that is far more accessible than a typical agency engagement.
New Member Support
It can take years to build a Congressional Office operation that is truly effective. From navigating committee appointments to running strong constituent services, there is a world of demands on a typical Congressional Office and very little guidance on how to do it well.
In almost two decades on Capitol Hill I've worked in a range of offices, from Steny Hoyer's operation when he was the House Whip, to rank and file members who worked on a variety of committees. I've learned from some of the best, and I can help you and your Chief-of-Staff get up the learning curve quickly and avoid any number of rookie mistakes.
