A Consumer Focus

Prior to starting her firm, she served as Director of Consumer Information at the U.S. Department of Energy. Under the leadership of Secretary Bill Richardson, her efforts resulted in a new look and a new name for the agency's homepage as well as a new gateway for callers: 1-800-dial-DOE. Government Executive Magazine recognized energy.gov among the "Best Feds on the Web". Like the streamlined phone services, it was recognized for promoting better delivery of information services to a bigger audience at a reduced cost.

Before recharging consumer outreach at DOE, McShea's career included posts as Media Director of the DC office of Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, and chief spokesperson for U.S. Senator Carl Levin, D-Mich. She also worked as a congressional reporter with States News Service.

A graduate of Georgetown University with a BA in American Government, McShea has served as an adjunct faculty member at American University where she taught a graduate section in political communications.
