His accomplishments include designing campaigns to combat misinformation during the controversial Muslim Ban and acting as spokesperson to a coalition of resettlement agencies, building the early framework for a new Housing Choice Voucher program (“Mobility Counseling”), and managing a $3M tech refresh project at the height of COVID-19 pandemic. Before SKDK, Ryan worked at a PR and issue advocacy firm in Pennsylvania for Fortune 100 clients, including Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Philadelphia-based Comcast/NBCUniversal.
Ryan is a proud State University of New York (SUNY) graduate and earned a master’s degree in policy research and analysis from the University of Pittsburgh.
