Kristina Baum, who served in the Trump administration as communications director for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, has joined Qorvis Communications as VP-Public Affairs.
At the WHOSTP, Baum served as on-the-record spokesperson for the COVID-19 pandemic response and developed messaging strategies for more than 90 policy streams.
She's a veteran of Capitol Hill, serving as communications director at the House committee on natural resources; committee on science, space and technology; and press secretary at the Senate’s environment and public works committee.
