Political Communication Professional

Maya Sabeh

I'm a communications professional working at the intersection of digital strategy, politics, and advocacy, with experience building fundraising programs for Democratic campaigns and developing compelling content for congressional and nonprofit organizations. I believe effective digital strategy starts with authentic voices, engaged audiences, and strong infrastructure that turns storytelling into action. I'm a proud graduate of GW's School of Media and Public Affairs, a competitive debater of 10 years, and a collegiate debate coach in my free time.
