Communications & Events Associate

I'd like to
work for Oklo.

15 years in entertainment and mission-driven organizations — from Vans Warped Tour to My Chemical Romance to Make-A-Wish to the USO. The sector is changing. The standard isn't. I do my best work when I believe in where I am.

Why this, why now

I'm making a deliberate lane change. Not because I burned out on mission-driven work — because I found the next mission worth changing for.

What Oklo is building — clean, reliable, affordable energy at scale — is the kind of work that deserves people who show up fully. I've spent 15 years in environments where the stakes were real, the details mattered, and getting it right for the people you were serving was non-negotiable. I'm looking for that again.

I'm an Oklo shareholder. This isn't a pivot of convenience. It's a considered bet on a company I believe in.

Selected work

USO × Focus Features

The campaign that changed mid-flight

Built a multi-partner campaign around Focus Features' PRESSURE and a D-Day premise. When talent withdrew due to geopolitical developments, restructured the entire campaign around a WWII letters archive narrative — securing a pro-bono digitization partnership, repositioning the story, and delivering a stronger outcome for both organizations. The studio committed to funding 20+ influencers at their own expense.

USO × NASA × U.S. Space Force

Live from the International Space Station

Originated and coordinated a live broadcast from the ISS for 3,300+ military-connected students as part of Space Force's STEMtoSpace initiative. Managed logistics, partner coordination, and execution across NASA, Space Force, and the USO. Recognized by NASA as the largest external virtual activation of its kind.

USO Studio Tour Program

From cost center to partner-funded model

Inherited a studio engagement program costing $50K–$150K per activation in organizational funds. Restructured the model so production, travel, and content costs were absorbed entirely by studio partners — expanding the roster to include Amazon MGM, Prime Video, Paramount+, Netflix, and Focus Features while eliminating internal subsidy.
