Whistleblower Aid

Since Whistleblower Aid's founding in 2017, I've served as Digital Producer and Creative Consultant, creating the visual content infrastructure that brings whistleblower stories to life and builds public support for policy reform. As a client liaison and media coach for high-profile cases, I've produced video content and digital assets to support strategic communications campaigns coordinated with West End Strategy. My work involves establishing trust with clients, de-escalating conflicts, and guiding them through complex, high-stress situations—traveling to meet clients and their families, accompanying them to Capitol Hill for testimony preparation, and serving as entertainment liaison to pitch long-form documentaries to prominent media outlets, including Apple TV+, Netflix, CNN, and MSNBC. This work has contributed to meaningful legislative outcomes and investigations. Whistleblower Aid won the Clarence B. Jones Impact Award in 2023 for outstanding communications.

  • High-Stakes Communication

    I've coordinated rapid response communications and strategic planning for multiple high-profile whistleblower cases like Igor Ostrovskiy (Harvey Weinstein exposé), the Anonymous Intelligence Officer (Trump-Zelenskyy pressure campaign), and Frances Haugen (Facebook/Meta concerns). I worked alongside legal and communications teams to manage multi-stakeholder engagements across media outlets, Congressional briefings, and international advocacy campaigns.

  • Video Journalism

    My video content and digital assets translate complex accountability issues into compelling narratives that educate the public and bolster advocacy efforts. The "Profiles of Courage" series I created, directed, and produced serves as evergreen digital content for fundraising and awareness campaigns, sparking investigations, Congressional attention, and legislative change.

  • Docu-Series

    Through collaboration with Whistleblower Aid, I developed and directed two documentary series produced by Super Luna Studios:

    Blow the Whistle - A formatted episodic investigation series documenting whistleblowers' experiences in exposing wrongdoing

    Unchecked - A three-part series on Big Tech whistleblowers Frances Haugen (Facebook/Meta), Peiter "Mudge" Zatko (Twitter), and Timnit Gebru (Google AI)
