Public Relations

At PPMW, public relations was a core part of my role. I worked to position the organization as both a trusted health care provider and a leading voice in the reproductive rights conversation across the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia region.

My work included:

  • Pitching stories to reporters and editors to highlight PPMW’s health services and advocacy priorities

  • Drafting press releases, op-eds, and executive remarks to amplify organizational messaging

  • Screening and preparing spokespeople, including training staff and leadership for media interviews

  • Managing media inquiries and attending interviews, ensuring accuracy and consistency of PPMW’s messaging

  • Coordinating crisis communications, including the Dobbs decision, where I served as a primary point of contact for press and executed a prepared media strategy within 24 hours

Extensive Media Coverage

This work resulted in extensive media coverage across major local and national outlets. Highlights include:

  • The Washington Post

  • Voice of America

  • WUSA9

  • WTOP

  • Bethesda Magazine

  • Bay News 9

I also secured coverage through press releases I authored, such as PPMW’s announcement of medication abortion at home services, which was featured in The Washington Post, DCist, and DC News Now.

By combining proactive outreach with rapid-response execution, I elevated PPMW’s visibility in the media and strengthened its reputation as a trusted health care provider and advocate for reproductive freedom.
