WOMEN RISING
As Head of Publicity & Partnerships, I spearheaded the PR campaign for TEDxAustinWomen (#1 TEDWomen Event of 2013) and nurtured strategic partnerships with global leaders such as the United Nations Foundation. Women Rising also produced the award-winning documentary, "A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story," of which I was a Producer and Head of Publicity. As part of the feature film's campaign to raise awareness of the growing epidemic while finding productive solutions to bullying, I helped produce our "High Road Movement" campaign as well as the “I’m with Lizzie” Influencers Against Bullying Campaign featuring Katie Couric, Chris Hemsworth, America Ferrera, the World Champion Golden State Warriors, Kylie Jenner, Zachary Quinto, Kristen Bell, Hilary Duff, Sara Bareilles and Kasey Musgraves among others.
Following the success of “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story” I re-teamed with its filmmakers - Director/Producer Sara Bordo and Executive Producer Alexis Jones - for another Women Rising Production. ProtectHer is a first-of-its-kind sexual assault prevention program. By activating the influence of male athletes and redefining "locker room talk," this film and curriculum series looks to be a solution in helping safeguard girls on campus. I served as Associate Producer on the docu-series, which was created by Alexis Jones and Directed and Produced by Sara Hirsh Bordo.
The third time I teamed with Women Rising Productions it was for the 2018 United State of Women Summit where Former First Lady Michelle Obama was the keynote speaker. Brough on to help raise awareness of the event, which Women Rising produced, I served as a Strategy and PR Consultant and secured press in addition to facilitating introductions to thought leaders and key influencers.
