Meet Heather
For the past decade, I’ve helped nonprofits build and implement strategic communication plans, funding initiatives and policy campaigns of every shape and size.
In the 2025 Legislative Session, I championed bipartisan legislation to protect Oregon’s sustainable agriculture industry.
In the 2023 Legislative Session, I helped secure more than $10 million in funding for the nation’s first-ever public recovery high school program, to ensure that youth with substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders have a safe, healthy environment to finish out their education.
Before that, I worked on communication campaigns that unlocked over $300 million in state funding for sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, child care programs, workforce investment initiatives, and economic development projects.
Prior to consulting, I worked as a Communications and Events Coordinator for an international nonprofit, where I developed social media campaigns, news content and cross-cultural communication strategies from the ground up.
Whatever I’m working on, I love looking at big-picture problems and then digging into the details to find win-win solutions. I know how to engage diverse audiences to bring important conversations to the table, and I pride myself in developing communication strategies that bridge political or organizational divides.
