Who Am I?

Hi! My name is Saachi Sharma. Originally from the Bay Area, I’m a third-year student at the University of Washington studying Journalism and Public Interest Communications with minors in Business and Leadership.

I’m a strategic storyteller and communicator who helps organizations bring clarity, trust, and alignment to complex environments.

My work sits at the intersection of narrative strategy, audience insight, cultural awareness, and organizational communication.

At my core, I’m a problem solver. I look for patterns, tensions, and root causes, not quick fixes. This is what I call Painting the Bigger Picture: zooming out far enough to understand the full landscape, then zooming in with precision to solve the right problem. I believe small signals reveal big truths, and that thoughtful communication can reshape culture, clarify identity, and create meaningful impact.

My approach blends strategic thinking with empathy, research, and a deep understanding of how people interpret stories. Whether I’m crafting a national communications campaign, building a brand voice for a tech startup, designing DEI dialogue frameworks, or writing thought leadership pieces, I’m focused on one thing: moving people — emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

I’ve worked across industries, including technology, journalism, student organizations, nonprofit leadership, Greek Life organizations, political campaigns, personal content, and community-centered initiatives. The common thread in all my work is bringing clarity to complexity and helping organizations understand the story they’re authentically telling — and the story they want to tell.

Outside of my work, I’m endlessly curious about culture, identity, human behavior, and the psychology of communication. I believe storytelling is both an art and a strategy — and when used well, it can transform organizations, relationships, and communities.

If you’re looking for someone who can connect dots, challenge assumptions, and design communication with intention and purpose, you’re in the right place.

Fullcast

Fullcast is an AI-based RevOps platform. We aim to simplify cross-functional GTM strategy through AI integration and auto-organization.

As a Marketing and PR intern, I work directly with our Marketing team, including our incredible CMO, Dr. Amy O. Cook, to shape messaging for our consumer-facing assets across web, email, events, and automation. After 3 months as an intern, I’ve been promoted to a part-time role writing thought-leadership and analytical blogs about AI’s implications for the workforce through the lens of entry-level candidates.

One initiative I’m particularly proud to have contributed to is GTM Live! , an event our team put together in just 6 weeks, where practitioners and executives from Sales, Marketing, RevOps, and CX came together to discuss the future of GTM and AI through panel interviews, keynote speeches, roundtables, and networking. As an intern, I was honored to attend the premiere launch of this annual event while assisting with event operations, participant satisfaction, facilitating roundtable conversations, and introducing an alternate student perspective to a room full of C-Level leadership.

Delta Zeta

I was honored to be chosen as one of 14 Corporate Interns for Delta Zeta’s National HQ. Learning about the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into running an international nonprofit with over 250,000 members has been incredibly humbling and gratifying.

As a Marketing and Communications intern, I’ve had the opportunity to write blog pieces for our monthly publication, the Lamp, PR briefs featured in our newsletter, publish social media content on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, and assist with event operations for 500+ attendees.

In this role, I’ve learned how to craft content and narratives that resonate with a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures through one common identity. I’ve launched several successful campaigns that have helped reignite member participation and engagement while fostering interest in potential new members by refining and advertising Delta Zeta’s core values.

One example is a campaign I launched that garnered ~80,000 views across our social platforms. The campaign was inspired by the viral release of Universal Pictures’ Wicked, which leveraged DZ’s brand colors (pink and green) and audience insights stemming from Wicked’s popularity amongst young women, to capitalize on member engagement through social media.
