Hi, I’m Madison, a communications leader with over fourteen years of experience across nonprofits, government, and mission-driven tech. From shaping narratives on Capitol Hill to leading teams at national advocacy organizations, I love turning big ideas into content that inspires people to take action. I have a degree in journalism, a master’s in public affairs, and a deep belief in the power of storytelling to create change.
Recently
Currently, I serve as Director of Communications at Kooth, a leading digital mental health platform focused on early, accessible support for teens and young adults. Across my career, I’ve led communications at the intersection of health, equity, policy, and social impact, including roles at FOLX Health, GLSEN, and on Capitol Hill.
At FOLX Health, I oversaw media relations, executive communications, and rapid response to policy developments, helping elevate the company’s voice in LGBTQ+ health and healthcare access. Before that, I led communications for GLSEN, overseeing content, public relations, digital media, and executive communications to advance safe and inclusive education for LGBTQ+ youth nationwide. That work included writing speeches and preparing the Executive Director for major media appearances and events, producing reports for the U.S. Department of Education, and supporting programs that delivered inclusive book sets to more than 8,100 schools across 33 states, reaching over 6.3 million students.
Earlier in my career, I served as Director of Digital Communications on Capitol Hill, helping shape national narratives around racial justice, policing reform, and mental health.
A bit more about me
Before moving into policy and advocacy work, I led content and communications for tech startups, agencies, and community initiatives. Highlights include designing sponsored New York Times features for RetailMeNot that drove 4.7M visits and $1M+ in sales, developing content strategy for Lyft’s Austin marketing office, and securing national media coverage in NPR, Forbes, and Wired through campaigns at T3. I also directed marketing and event communications for Red White & Blues, a benefit concert featuring Grammy-nominated Black Pumas that raised funds for unhoused veterans.
Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bike, writing fiction, cooking with friends, and taking on too many house projects!
