Hey there!

I'm Emily McCarthy, a strategic communications professional with a diverse and well-rounded background in public relations, digital marketing, and political communications.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Public Relations & Strategic Communications from American University, where I developed a deep understanding of the intersections between media, politics, and public perception.

I am passionate about the power of storytelling and committed to using compelling narratives to connect with diverse audiences, inspire action, and drive meaningful change for mission-driven organizations. Whether working independently or collaboratively, I bring a strategic mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and a relentless focus on outcomes that matter.

My expertise includes orchestrating dynamic, multi-platform social media campaigns, crafting compelling and original content, and leveraging data-driven insights to maximize audience engagement and impact across diverse channels. I thrive in fast-paced, results-oriented environments, consistently delivering innovative solutions that align with organizational goals.

More About Me

    1. My favorite movie is Napoleon Dynamite and I have seen it at least 30 times.

    2. My go to morning coffee is an extra foamy Cortado with oat milk.

    3. I moved to college and my dad turned my childhood room into a Chinchilla habitat.
