The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

At the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), I’ve managed the national communications strategy on offshore energy development, driving high-impact public affairs initiatives, and shaping policy narratives. I’ve successfully provided executive counsel to senior leadership, managed crisis communications, and directed stakeholder engagement to enhance BOEM’s influence and public perception.

Below is a selection of communication materials I have coordinated and produced at BOEM.
