Hi, I'm Chrissy!

I'm a communications strategist and former journalist with over seven years of experience telling stories that matter—from local broadcasts to national and international headlines. My reporting has covered some of the most consequential stories of the past decade, including the Gabby Petito case, the Capitol Riots, and the George Floyd protests; I also led communications for the Pan African Chamber of Commerce, where I collaborated with international partners and managed cross-cultural teams.​

​

In my most recent role as Communications Project Manager at the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative, I oversaw organizational communications, funder reporting, and social media strategy for Hillsborough County's lead agency on the Continuum of Care. Additionally, I managed a capacity-building initiative that connects smaller nonprofits with mentorship and technical assistance. This work blends storytelling, strategic planning, and systems change.

​

I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Global Affairs at the University of Oklahoma, with a concentration in Global Economics and Development. My graduate studies build on my long-standing focus on international development, postcolonial frameworks, and amplifying Global South perspectives. These interests shape everything from my advocacy communications to my long-term research goals.​

​

Whether I am developing a communications plan, briefing executive leadership, cultivating media relationships, or translating complex policies into accessible narratives, my aim remains the same: to ensure that diverse voices are not only heard but also centered.​

​

I am always open to connecting about opportunities in communications, marketing, and global affairs—let's talk!
