Hi, I’m Alyssa
I'm a strategic communications consultant who helps nonprofits and educational institutions craft clear, compelling messages that connect with their audiences and advance their missions.
About Me
With more than 20 years of experience in communications — from leading PR agencies to national nonprofits — I've learned that the best work happens when you truly listen. Every organization has a unique story to tell and specific goals to reach. My job is to understand what you're aiming to accomplish and help you get there with smart strategy, thoughtful content and genuine partnership.
I started my career at agencies like Porter Novelli and Spitfire Strategies, where I learned to write with precision, manage complex projects under pressure and develop communications strategies for national campaigns. I went on to lead public relations for RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization, before spending nearly a decade at Johns Hopkins University working on digital strategy, web redesigns and content development for the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Whiting School of Engineering.
In 2018, I took on the challenge of managing a major website redesign for the National Federation of the Blind, working to improve accessibility and user experience for 50,000 members nationwide. That project reinforced what I already knew: I love solving complex communication challenges, collaborating with mission-driven teams and creating work that actually makes a difference.
In 2020, I launched Alyssa Oliveri Communications to bring that same level of strategic thinking and care to organizations that need a trusted partner — not just a vendor. Whether it's refining your brand, developing web content, planning a communications strategy or managing a digital project, I approach every engagement with curiosity, honesty and a commitment to delivering work that's polished, practical and aligned with who you are.
My background in marketing and psychology (I studied both at Georgetown) shapes how I think about messaging and audiences. But more than that, what I bring is experience, attention to detail and a collaborative spirit. I'll tell you what I think, recommend what's right for you and work alongside you to create communications strategies that truly serve your mission.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me in Baltimore exploring the city with my wife and our two crazy pups, making art and sampling local brews. I've also served on the board of Girls on the Run Central Maryland and volunteered with organizations like Planned Parenthood of Maryland, because I believe in supporting work that matters.
