In 2018, I came up to Canada to study Peace & Justice Studies in British Columbia. Since then, I am in my third year of a PhD program at the University of British Columbia - better late then never! I aim to document key voices for the environmental health and environmental justice movements with my research.
I still work as an independent consultant for NGOs, small businesses, academics, scientists, and health advocates to develop communication strategies to help raise awareness and create critical mass for change. Here are some things I do :
• assist journalists with tracking down important elements for thier stories, including providing expert voices on complex issues
• strategize with planning communications in environmental health campaign inceptions, including targeting audiences, clarifying messages, and identifying messengers to work toward critical mass for change • support for market and policy campaigns, and for underserved groups needing communications support, mentoring those with communications inclinations • produce news teleconferences, also in person press events • write op-eds, talking points, fact sheets, letters to the editor, blogs, focus sheets for conference calls & webinars, and more • help build coalition through collaborative communications strategy with diverse groups • work with reporters to get stories generated in media, to position and prep my team as resources for on-going media pieces Before this, I was a Communications Director for two NGOs. During my previous careers, I produced live radio and television shows, also produced magazine format video and documentries, and have worked as a river guide, in retail and as a maid. I am also a jazz singer and perform with my band, the Isoji Wizards.I'm always interested in supporting a team that is a good fit for my skills, experience, and personality.
