Ehab James
I work where law, politics, and communications meet.
Public affairs advisor. Incoming law student. Bouncing between Toronto and Washington, D.C.
About
I'm a 22-year-old based in Toronto. I grew up splitting time between the Greater Toronto Area and the suburbs around Washington, D.C.
I work in public affairs and communications, supporting governments, campaigns, and institutions on both sides of the border. I also contribute to message strategy and persuasion research for organizations in the United States.
My background runs deeper than politics. It spans technology, community building, and years of communications work with content creators. Through MapleMark Media, these dimensions come together for organizations and public figures on communications strategy, digital presence, and community building.
