I knew from the first day I stepped into a college classroom, I wanted to be a communications professional. I love everything about this field–strategy, branding, finding an audience, crafting a message. I love writing. Editing. Rewriting. Publishing.

What I love even more than this stuff is the relationships that are formed from great communications. People come first with me.

The places our messages go has blown up since I began my career 20+ years ago (um hello social media!). It's never been a more exciting time to work in comms.

As a communications consultant, I work with teams on a variety of comms needs. Some clients need help with strategy and campaigns. Others need a wordsmith, an editor, or a PR gal to step in and help. I'm a strong project manager who thrives on organization, clear deadlines and deliverables, and cohesive teams. 

Some of my best work has come from clients asking me to jump in and help quarterback their comms teams.

  • Manage high-profile projects
  • Craft and manage strategic communications and PR campaigns
  • Guide teams through CRMs, email marketing platforms, and project management tools (martech)
  • Write and edit compelling content

If your organization needs an extra set of hands, fresh perspective, or a trusted communications partner, I may be able to help.

Are we a good fit?

I'll go first. Here's what I offer:

  • 20+ years of professional communications experience
  • A people-first approach and high value for relationships and teamwork
  • A track record of award-winning publications and national media coverage
  • Practical expertise in writing, PR, and martech strategy
  • A collaborative, deadline-driven approach that delivers excellent work
  • Experience in advocacy
  • Transparency, honesty and integrity in every project
  • A human touch (AI is great, but it can't do everything!)
