Jamie Sharken

Communications and Public Affairs Specialist

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) professional with a strong track record of advancing mission-driven organizations across international development, higher education, public policy, and nonprofit sectors. Currently working and studying at the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, I bring deep cross-cultural understanding, a global perspective, and hands-on experience managing programs that promote equity and social change.

My background includes supporting women’s empowerment initiatives in Latin America, coordinating strategic communications and high-level events, and working alongside policymakers, academics, and local communities. I’ve partnered with organizations ranging from the United Nations Population Fund in Argentina to Harvard-based research centers, consistently delivering thoughtful project execution, stakeholder engagement, and communications that resonate across diverse audiences.

I’m passionate about building more just and inclusive systems and excited to keep contributing to the international development space through creative problem-solving, collaboration, and purpose-driven leadership.
