Who I am
I’m a strategic communications leader with 20+ years of experience helping brands, nonprofits, and purpose-driven organizations—in both B2B and consumer spaces—show up with clarity, credibility, and impact.
At my core, I’m a storyteller. I translate complex ideas into compelling narratives that resonate with the right audiences and drive meaningful results. Whether I’m leading comms for a national nonprofit initiative or building visibility for a Fortune 500 brand, I bring empathy, precision, and big-picture thinking to every project.
I’ve partnered with companies and organizations across sectors—health, sustainability, mobility, and tech—to shape their messaging, build trust, and connect with the people who matter most.
A few highlights I’m proud of:
🍼 Built national awareness of NICU nutrition for Prolacta Bioscience with a PESO campaign; placements in GoodMorningAmerica.com and HuffPost
🎬 Drove 10B+ earned impressions for Lexus through partnerships with Black Panther, Eternals, and Men in Black
🍺 Increased earned media 61% YoY for Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., elevating brand relevance and affinity
🌸 Positioned Toyota and Saatchi & Saatchi as industry innovators with features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Fast Company
🏙 Shifted public perception of the opening of Chicago’s Millennium Park, resulting in hundreds of positive stories and a dedicated Chicago Tribune keepsake section
What I bring to the table:
Integrated communications strategy across paid, earned, shared, and owned media
Campaign and event communications—from pre-launch planning to live coverage
Executive visibility, thought leadership, and message development
Trusted media relationships and press strategy that delivers real impact
Crisis and issue communications grounded in empathy and clarity
A passion for making complex ideas—like medicine, technology, or policy—feel human and accessible
After a life-changing health experience, I’m more committed than ever to telling stories that empower and spark change.
