For the past decade, Hayley has dedicated her career to media, messaging, and narrative change to advance civil rights and social justice, with a clear focus on immigrants’ rights. She has worked 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. While her communications skills run the gamut, her fundamental expertise is in media relations. She has placed impactful stories in a range of national and local outlets, including the New York Times, Associated Press, TIME, NPR and multiple local affiliates, the Los Angeles Times, The Hill, Teen Vogue, NBC, ABC, CBS, Univision, Telemundo, The Intercept, Talking Points Memo, CalMatters, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Sacramento Bee. In addition to her advocacy work, Hayley is an adjunct professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, where she has taught both undergraduate and graduate-level public relations courses. Hayley does lots of other things too (with varying degrees of expertise) – she reads, she does pottery, and she's learning metal smithing. She also spends a lot of time with her cat Lola and her dog Emmylou (if you’re sensing music references you’re on the right track).
