About Rose

From launching robust advocacy campaigns to advising on procurement timelines to navigating complex land use and zoning approvals, Rose possesses a deep understanding of when and how to deploy strategies to help clients achieve their legislative and business objectives across a broad range of industries.

As co-chair of the New York Public Strategies practice, Rose develops and executes intergovernmental strategies to advance policy initiatives and secure millions of dollars in New York City and State government funding for capital and infrastructure projects and programs on behalf of nonprofit, civic, and corporate clients.

Under her leadership, numerous arts, cultural, educational institutions, and real estate clients have secured millions in city, state, and federal government funding. Notable achievements include securing funding from the City of New York to support the construction of the new Studio Museum in Harlem; obtaining funding for the design and construction of Union Square Partnership and the Meatpacking BID’s 14^th Street Vision; advocating on behalf of the Whitney Museum of American Art to support the Gansevoort Square development project; and advancing a rezoning to facilitate new housing at the site of the Reform Temple of Forest Hills in Queens.

Rose’s commitment to improving the community for all New Yorkers is evident in her work with more than a dozen of the practice’s civic organizations. In particular, her representation of the City Parks Foundation exemplifies her dedication to enhancing everyday spaces for the community, having secured millions in funding for the foundation to provide free arts, sports, and education programs. An advocate at her core, Rose is deeply involved in the community. She serves as vice president of the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City, and as a trustee of the Citizens’ Budget Commission for New York.

Before joining Public Strategies, Rose was a senior government and regulatory adviser at the New York office of a national law firm. Earlier in her career, she worked for the City of Charleston, S.C., in the Mayor’s Office of Public Information, handling public relations and media relations efforts. Rose earned her bachelor’s degree in communications and political science from the College of Charleston.
