A former journalist turned public relations and policy advocacy strategist, Becky is devoted to making the complex simple and compelling. Her creative ideas are reflected in op-eds and social media campaigns, videos, events, news coverage and advertising.

​

Becky was the founder of Navigator Communications, a U.S. Senate press secretary and has led communications and media efforts for organizations like the National Governors Association, the Gates Foundation’s education initiatives and NeighborWorks America.

 

Becky sharpened her advocacy chops on several successful efforts to promote a better way, including:

​

• A national coalition of foundations, nonprofits and charitable organizations that brought tax policy to life and helped protect vital health, education and community services.

• University of Virginia Miller Center’s State Healthcare Cost Containment Commission co-chaired by former Govs. Leavitt (Utah) and Ritter (Colorado).

• The Institute for Evidenced Base Change’s efforts to “Tune” higher education and provide college credit for military veterans.

• HBO’s The Weight of the Nation documentary series on America’s obesity epidemic.

• A Clinton Foundation/American Beverage Association alliance that helped schools reach a 90 percent reduction in beverage calories.

• ”The Whistle” – the first sports YouTube Multi-Channel Network for kids delivering positive, motivational content.

Becky holds a masters degree in media and public affairs from George Washington University, and BA in English Writing and Communications from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. However, she often learns the most from her two sons.
