Summary

I'm an award-winning strategic communications leader who's passionate about creating and directing programs and initiatives to achieve organizational objectives. I have extensive experience with external, internal and executive communications in a variety of industries, including technology, biotechnology and telecommunications. I've generated concepts for innovative media relations and internal communications strategies and owned everything from planning and execution to analyzing results.

A former journalist, I'm always looking for compelling stories to tell in whatever medium is most appropriate, from articles to videos to podcasts to infographics. I tap into my creativity to find fresh ways to engage audiences, including journalists, employees, executives, partners, customers, and other stakeholders. I've written everything from press releases to white papers to case studies, and have grown audiences for newsletters, blogs, and social media.

I'm highly collaborative and bring my trademark energy to cross-functional teams and projects. I've also served as a trusted strategic advisor to executives and developed plans and materials on their behalf. I have a particular interest in developing the communications abilities of colleagues, whether they're direct reports, teammates or senior leaders.

Expectations

I'm looking for an organization that values communications and understands its importance in building a brand and a thriving business. I would like to be empowered to take initiative to solve problems and improve processes in creative ways, while at the same time forging close partnerships with stakeholders throughout the organization.
