PR is my first love (... communications speaking).

I've worked in PR since 2006, after graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in Public Relations. This field is about showcasing your story to the world. As a PR pro, I'm always honored to help. PR is multi-faceted, and there's a lot of directions it can go. 

Here's how I've worked alongside clients to amplify their PR efforts over the years: 

  • Media Relations: Identifying story angles, pitching to media outlets, and tracking coverage.
  • Media Training: Preparing leaders, staff, and spokespeople for interviews and public speaking.
  • Media Kits & Messaging: Creating fact sheets, talking points, and full media kits.
  • PR Planning: Developing year-round public relations strategies, editorial calendars, and campaign plans.
  • Press Releases & Pitching: Writing and distributing press releases, pitches, and impact stories.
  • Digital Strategy Alignment: Ensuring PR efforts align with your website, email, and social media presence.
  • Event PR Support: Designing communications strategies for fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and special events.

To make sure we’re the right fit, here’s what I don't do (but can refer you to some great resources!)

  • Influencer marketing or influencer campaigns
  • Trade show planning or management
  • Paid ad campaigns or paid media plans
  • Ongoing social media account management, paid social ads

Are we a good fit?

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

  • 20+ years of PR experience
  • A people-first approach and high value for relationships and teamwork
  • Strategic approach to the work with a focus on campaign planning
  • Proven success in securing Tier 1, Tier 2, and local media coverage (with a specialty in Tier 2/local outlets)
  • Strong expertise in health care/cancer and faith-based media
  • Known for being reliable, collaborative, and deadline-driven
