“Matt was a founding member and the Director of Media for Trojan Shelter - one of the first homeless shelters in the nation for college students. Matt played a vital part in growing our media presence and donor relations. Through his media work, a small nonprofit started by college students was featured on ABCNews, KCRW, NBC, and more. He is a communications expert that has a unique way of combining passion and professionalism in his work. He deeply cares for his teammates and helped me prepare for so many media interviews and speaking events with such detail and support. He is super talented, hardworking, and a joy to be around. I highly recommend Matt for your team!”

“Matthew possesses an unmistakable talent and enthusiasm for communication and storytelling across different audiences and forms. He is highly collaborative at the visionary level and executes projects seamlessly at a granular level. I look forward to working with him on many more future projects.”

“I worked with Matthew for several years at the USC School of Engineering where he was immensely helpful in crafting a wide variety of written and digital communications. Although Matthew does not have an engineering background, he was amazingly effective at developing communications that broke down very complex engineering concepts into easily understandable and relatable pieces. Matthew possesses what I think are two of the most important qualities in a communications professional today: curiosity and cultural/emotional sensitivity. He is never afraid to ask questions and is quick to learn a variety of new tools that helped enrich our entire communications division.”

“I have worked with Matthew in 3 different capacities and each time he has been punctual, detail-oriented, strategic, and thoughtful. I am grateful for his rather extraordinary organizational capacity, and his ability to distill a complex project into a very manageable timeline for everyone on the team.”

“Matthew is an amazing copy editor. He has edited many of my professional and personal pieces over the past 3 years. Matthew has a way of editing written content that still captures my voice, and doesn’t drastically alter the message or point I am conveying. As a Black writer, it is especially important to me that my voice, tone, and writing cadence is maintained throughout the copy-editing process. Matthew respects that and always ensures that it does. ”

“Matthew is a professional, collaborative, and thoughtful copy editor. We worked together as summer scholars at a progressive think tank, and I was in my first policy role. Despite being in graduate school, I was insecure about learning to write in a new, shorter style. Matthew provided me with the support and confidence I needed to write poignant education policy pieces rooted in my own voice and ideas. Further, he suggested ways to creatively publish our work through zines and other visuals so that our policy ideas could be more easily accessible to a wider audience. His passion for racial Justice and equitable public policy shines in his copy editing—any team would be lucky to have him. ”
