Marisa Aleguas

Junior Account Manager

Marisa brings a background of strategic communications for the U.S. government to the science, technology, and policy team at Nara. Previously, she served as a Speechwriter and Policy Advisor for two U.S. Cabinet Secretaries. In those roles, she penned remarks, op-eds, and presentations for global audiences.

Specialising in science and technology communications, Marisa has a particular passion for translating complex policy issues into compelling narratives that resonate with everyday people. She especially enjoys crafting op-eds and helping clients expand their reach beyond their sectors. 

Marisa graduated from Duke University (go Blue Devils!) with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy Studies. In her spare time, she is a regular at Karve pilates, plays tennis, and loves to bring a book or watercolor paints to various London parks.
