I was Head of Communications & Engagement for the Ocean Program at the World Resources Institute (WRI). In this role, I led global communications strategies to elevate ocean sustainability as a political, economic and climate priority on the international stage. I worked closely with governments, multilateral institutions, civil society and business leaders to translate research and policy into compelling narratives that could influence decision-makers and accelerate action.

I supported high-level initiatives including the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy and Friends of Ocean Action, helping position ocean health as central to climate resilience, inclusive growth and long-term economic stability. My work combined strategic messaging, media engagement, thought leadership and global convenings to reach policymakers, investors and senior leaders across sectors.

Through an integrated approach to communications and engagement, I strengthened WRI’s visibility, convening power and influence in global ocean governance, contributing to a broader shift in how oceans are understood as a critical system underpinning people, planet and prosperity.
