Hi! I’m Hayley, and I’m a strategic communications professional living in beautiful Southern California. 

For the past decade, I’ve dedicated my career to media, messaging, and narrative change to advance civil rights and social justice, with a clear focus on immigrants’ rights. I have worked for many different organizations both in-house and as a freelance consultant, with projects ranging from federal Supreme Court litigation to organizer-led campaigns at the state and local level in places like California, Tennessee, New York, and Wisconsin.

As I’ve advanced in my career, I’ve become committed to building a strong pipeline of new communications professionals. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to teach classes as an adjunct professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, as well as lead regular communications and media trainings for students and colleagues.

I do lots of other things too (with varying degrees of expertise) – I read, I do pottery, and I’m learning metal smithing. I also spend a lot of time with my cat Lola and my dog Emmylou (if you’re sensing music references you’re on the right track).

I look forward to the opportunity to work together!
