Hi, I'm Desirée.
Global Communications Strategist
Writer • Reader • Traveler
I am a former U.S. diplomat and career communications strategist who has advised executives, shaped narratives for organizations across government, policy, finance, creative and nonprofit industries. My work has supported major brands and agencies, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Trade and Development Agency, Meridian International Center, RealClear's Future Energy Forum, Ally Financial, Ogilvy, and more.
Currently, I work with leaders, founders, and organizations on communications initiatives ranging from strategy to media training, events and activations. The work may vary, but the goal is always the same: clarity, intention, and impact.
I'm available for consulting, fractional engagements, speaking, media training, and creative collaborations.
