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.
