About
Hi, I'm Noam :)I’m a strategic communications and public relations professional based outside of Los Angeles. I currently work for Nava, a technology company making government services simple and effective.Over the years I have helped billion dollar companies, health systems, and government clients achieve their goals. I enjoy the complexity of both promoting and protecting a client's brands, as well as the collaboration my work calls for.I also got the chance to work with Dr. Tal Leead (PsyD), on editing, publishing, and marketing her first book, Happier Being. Bringing this book to life was one of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I have been a part of. In 2022 it became an Amazon #1 best seller!I'm certified in both advanced crisis management and AI for business transformation. Apart from my professional work, I write a newsletter focused on allergy-friendly food & dining in the LA/SoCal area called The Choosy Foodie. I'm also a big health nerd and sci-fi fantasy reader.Below are some writing and work samples from various positions throughout my career.
