Capital Strategic Solutions is excited to welcome Kirsten Glavin to the team as our newest Senior Project Manager
Kirsten brings more than a decade of experience as an EMMY-award-winning journalist and communications professional, with extensive expertise in storytelling, message development, media relations, and community engagement. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, and throughout her career, she has cultivated trusted relationships with a wide range of stakeholders — from residents to high-profile public officials — while crafting compelling, clear, and effective messaging across multiple platforms.
In her new role at CSS, Kirsten will lead initiatives in executive coaching and media training, helping leaders and organizations strengthen their public presence, refine their messaging, and confidently navigate today’s evolving media landscape. Her background as an on-air journalist for major media outlets, including NBC10 Boston, WFXT-TV, WLNE-TV, WSPA-TV, and KETK-TV equips her with firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities of media engagement — experience that will directly benefit our clients and partners.
Beyond her deep media expertise, Kirsten’s skills in content creation, brand development, community relations, and crisis communication will further expand CSS’s capacity to support municipalities, agencies, and organizations in building strong, trusted relationships with the communities they serve.
Please join us in giving Kirsten a warm welcome as she embarks on this exciting new chapter at Capital Strategic Solutions!
