As a writer, speaker, and educator, I leverage my expertise in strategic communications, international relations, and global trends to create engaging and impactful content, programs, and partnerships. I also serve as a board member and senior advisor for organizations that promote science education and social good. Additionally, I have taught courses on diplomacy, negotiations, and media at Northeastern University for over 15 years.
