Hello, hello!
As you can likely infer, my name is Cole. From a young age I was instilled with a strong moral compass and unwavering desire to be a part of the change I wanted to see in the world. Those two guiding principles have taken me to a variety of interesting and fun places, and have shaped who I am today. I have a unique educational and professional background that can
Stories That Matters:
I’ve always been drawn to storytelling—first through journalism, where I uncovered and shared voices that might otherwise go unheard, and later in advertising, where I learned how to use words and images to sell products and shape perception. What I’ve learned in both is this: storytelling drives action. It’s how we connect, how we persuade, and how we build momentum. I want to work in policy or advocacy because I want to know that the stories and narratives I create will be for something I believe in and something that makes a tangible difference in peoples lives. I believe policy change starts with the right narrative—one that makes people feel seen, inspired, and empowered to act. At the heart of every real movement is a story that invites the public in. My goal is to use those same storytelling skills to help shape policy that’s more thoughtful, more just, and more human.
