Conceived, launched, and managed GreenLeaders DC, a communications and virtual programming project supporting online training on green jobs, ESG investing, natural capital, and food security.
Led strategic communications planning for social media engagement and content production in support of the U.S. Defense Department’s SERDP-ESTCP environmental research program.
Led training of U.S. diplomats at the Foreign Service Institute on podcasting program development, social media distribution, and integration of digital audio into public diplomacy programs.
Managed podcast production support for U.S. Department of State energy trade missions to Africa, U.S. Peace Corps volunteer activities, and elearning initiatives.
Working together with the Association of Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS), GreenLeaders DC provided a convenient online consultation solution to align instructional approaches with industry workforce needs in key sustainability spaces. We conducted six online workshops where participants received in-depth answers to questions in an informal, collegial context. Participants identified strategies and practices to better align teaching and practice, leading to better jobs for graduates, enhanced sustainability performance for business, and better economic prospects for the sustainability space.
The Department of Defense’s environmental research programs needed better communication strategies. Hired by the program contractor, I led efforts to develop effective options by assessing goals, resources, and audiences. I conducted a half-day presentation for DoD staff, offering strategic guidance on social media integration. The consultation successfully met its objectives, giving the programs clarity on using communications technology. As a result, program leaders chose to pursue further services to enhance mission support through social media and related tools.
