Johanna Williams is a Communications Associate at Harbor Strategic.
Johanna’s background in strategic communication, writing, and public relations allow her to serve Harbor clients at the highest professional level.
At Harbor, Williams is working with PR and public affairs clients. For example, she is leading a statewide public education program supporting Michigan's locally elected clerks by teaching citizens how to volunteer as poll workers on Election Day.
Prior to joining Harbor, she developed communications expertise while serving Community Foundation Ireland, a philanthropic organization located in Dublin, Ireland. In this role, she curated press releases, event reports, and case studies to increase visibility and strengthen stakeholder relationships. This experience combined her professional skill set with her commitment and passion for community impact.
Johanna channeled that same dedication into communications and marketing work for an independent counseling service in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While working for that client, she developed brand content in support of client outreach efforts, including flyers, email campaigns, and website content.
Johanna graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Throughout her time at MSU, she served on the executive board of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), where she led over 150 members and oversaw the Bateman Case Study Competition, a premier PR campaign competition.
