About Me

Strategic Communications and Public Relations professional with two decades of expertise including leading talented team members, managing crisis communications, building marketing campaigns, and serving high-level executives in corporate, nonprofit, and public school (government-operated) organizations. Navigates high-profile organizational projects and public speaking with both grace and tenacity including on-camera media interviews, large presentations/events, town hall meetings, crisis situations, and more.

Purpose & Expertise

Harnessing skills in external and internal communications, my core competencies lie in crafting compelling narratives, developing actionable marketing campaigns, and fostering meaningful client / community relationships.

Driven with purpose to serve a meaningful organization/cause, my consistent focus is to enhance engagement and ensure that core values resonate among the audiences with whom we communicate. By aligning professional endeavors with sound integrity, I find joy in contributing to a strong team, embracing diverse perspectives, and enjoying collaborative success.

Culture & Strategy

... in order of priority.

Among the tenets of leadership is both influence and the ability to communicate with vision in a manner than brings people together for a common purpose, cause, or belief. There's a delicate balance to building a culture that owns itself while creating and driving strategy ... and that's where I can help.

​​

I am most grateful for the opportunities I've been afforded to oversee, research, write, and develop/create strategic, foundational guides at the highest levels of the organizations I've served. These include yet are not limited to: Vision, Mission, Priorities / Goals; Organizational Beliefs & Values; Culture Decks; and more as well as full-circle feedback cycles which inform such plans, guides, and strategies. (Some recent samples are contained in this portfolio, while most are proprietary (protected) information that I have elected not to share in support of those organizations.)
