About

I'm Nasaiah Algarin, a communications and education strategist based in Washington, D.C. I work where schools, institutions, and the people they serve come together.

I study Public Relations and Strategic Communication at American University, with a minor in Education Studies. I founded EdCommons, an education platform I built from the ground up, and this summer I'm with Apple's Community Education Initiative. As a Strategic Communications Fellow at the D.C. State Board of Education, I led the agency's rebrand and wrote its policy blog.

My work moves between classrooms, institutions, and the communities they serve. I turn policy into plain language, build programs that didn't exist yet, and design the brands and tools that help an organization actually reach its people. I've also taught K-12 and run summer-program operations on the ground.

My family comes from two islands, Puerto Rico and Cape Verde, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and I grew up in the U.S. in between the two. I work the way I was raised: across languages, audiences, and worlds.

That's the short version. The rest of the site is the long one.

Let's begin.
