Marisa Beahm Klein
A journalist's precision.
A poet's prose.
Two decades turning hard, important subjects into stories that earn the weight they carry.
ScrollAbout
“She knows how to ask the right questions and craft language that resonates.”
For two decades, Marisa has worked at the intersection of journalism, arts, and mission. She cut her teeth as a daily reporter in Colorado, served as an editor for publications in Europe, and earned her master's in arts management at American University before moving in-house — leading communications strategy at organizations including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
She brings a journalist's precision, a poet's prose, and a strategist's instincts to work that has to land — with audiences and with the subjects it serves. Her work has earned a Webby Award and a Gold Shorty in Storytelling.
Selected work
Two decades, three forms — long-form journalism, video storytelling, and fundraising that moves people to act.
