Producer, Project Manager, Storyteller

The Nature Conservancy protects Earth's natural resources and beauty. Our conservation efforts are driven by our members. Act Now.

I am the Project Manager for the Climate Risk and Resilience strategy at The Nature Conservancy, the leading conservation organization working to protect ecologically important lands and waters. In this role, I develop and implement communication strategy and plans for the goals of the organization through managing strategic partnerships, producing short documentary films, and project managing fundraising and grant proposals. As a multi-faceted part of the team, I serve primarily as a project manager and storyteller, overseeing many moving parts and creating content that can inspire greater change.A highlighted success was having our short documentary, The Nature of People, screened at the 2015 Paris COP21 (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) to global leaders in conservation.Previously, I worked as a Government Relations Assistant, providing administrative and communications support to the Global Managing Director of Public Policy. My experience also includes several years in film and video production, working on projects ranging from feature length films to national commercials.Above all, I excel in roles blending storytelling and strategy. I am passionate about developing strategy for organizational goals and finding innovative ways to reach greater audiences. My greatest satisfaction comes from directing the story of a production and managing various opportunities to maximize reach and impact. Ultimately, my mission is to use my skills to find connections between people, companies and industries to create greater impact for important issues and causes in today's world. When I’m not making films or strategy, I love to cook and spend time in Greece, which I claim as a second home.If you’d like to connect further, please email me directly at btassoulas@gmail.com.
