A staffer who got her congressional start under then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and later worked for the Department of State has left the Hill to join another former secretary of state's global firm.
Nicole Wilett-Jensen last month became vice president at Madeleine Albright's Albright Stonebridge Group. She came from the Senate, where she worked as senior professional staff member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Wilett-Jensen served as a legislative fellow for Clinton in 2007. She came to the Hill after a stint with U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants following her graduation with a master's degree in public affairs and international relations from Indiana University Bloomington in 2005.
Wilett-Jensen was also a foreign affairs officer with the State Department, from 2005 to 2010, overlapping with Clinton at the agency in her final year. She returned to State in January 2012 and served until April 2013 as senior adviser and chief of staff at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa.
The former congressional staffer also spent several years at the National Security Council as director for African affairs.
The Albright Stonebridge Group has never filed lobbying papers, but Stonebridge International LLC merged with The Albright Group LLC in 2009 to form the organization. Stonebridge International LLC filed as a lobbyist from 2002-08.
