Hi! I’m Mattie. It’s not short for anything.
I am a communications and public affairs expert with more than a decade of experience in high-visibility roles. I am passionate about storytelling and meaningful social impact.
I excel at turning complex, nuanced information into concise, engaging content.

Audit & refresh: Evaluate existing comms channels, recommend improvements for tone, cadence, and audience alignment.
