About Rebecca

Rebecca is about lifting up people and communities. The youngest of four children raised by a foreign-born, single mom, she came from humble beginnings that serve as a strong foundation for her life.

With a quarter century of experience in cause campaigns and public-private initiatives, Rebecca has implemented communications strategies for dozens of advocacy groups, chambers of commerce and state and local governments. Equipped with experience, a handful of amazing mentors, and the quick and nimble proficiency that comes with being a solo practitioner for more than a decade, she values becoming a member of the client’s team to provide clear, effective and strategic communications.

Rebecca’s time at a small Atlanta public affairs firm provided a foundation of expertise in — and passion for — sustainability issues through advocacy campaigns for the BeltLine and the Peachtree Streetcar. That expertise led to work as an independent consultant supporting the release of the City of Atlanta’s first carbon footprint report, as well as the launch of the city’s first sustainability plan.

Prior to her agency experience, Rebecca was the Communications Director for what is now the Georgia Department of Economic Development. There she launched numerous key initiatives to the public including the department’s regional service program and conducted several industry media tours throughout the state.

At her core, Rebecca is dedicated to improving the lives of people living in poverty. Currently she is supporting clients that are dedicated to that same vision, working at the intersections of poverty and nutrition; clean energy and energy efficiency; and cancer care.

Rebecca earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from Mercer University in Macon, Ga. and a master's degree in mass communication from the University of Georgia. A former President of the League of Women Voters of Georgia, she is a graduate of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Regional Leadership Institute.

Atlanta’s historic Grant Park is where Rebecca calls home; she and her husband, two children and two mixed-mutt rescues live in a 100-year-old house. The family is actively involved in their schools, church and neighborhood.
