Communications Department

Supported the Council on Foreign Relations’ communications team during a pivotal period during the heat of the Iraq War, working closely with the Vice President of Communications to advance public understanding of complex foreign-policy issues. Produced daily op-ed and press briefings for council leadership, coordinated a high volume of international press inquiries, and managed media relations and on-site press presence for official council meetings and events. The role demanded precision, discretion, and sound editorial judgment in a fast-moving news environment, helping ensure the institution’s expertise reached policymakers, journalists, and the broader public clearly and authoritatively.
