Services & Issue Expertise

“So what do you do exactly?” It’s a question I hear often. In short, I help people strategize how to make the world better and communicate how they’re doing it.

Known as a “deep generalist” among my peers, I don’t have a one-size-fits-all or cookie-cutter approach to communications, as each project is different and each client deserves personalized treatment. Below is a list services I provide and the issues I have the most expertise with. As a consultant, I work at an hourly rate, set-fee or monthly retainer basis.
