About
<p class="MsoNormal">I give voice to the people, causes, and companies striving to make their impact.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">With equal parts grit and compassion, I create the content that drives ideas and action. My work has secured top tier media placements, blanket media coverage, and in-depth enterprise pieces. I have crafted strategies for high-profile policy rollouts and national initiatives and have executed media events ranging from intimate one-on-one profiles to large scale conferences with hundreds of reporters.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Throughout my career, whether for a Fortune 50 corporation, a small start-up or a non-profit CEO, people and purpose have been the driving forces of my work.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I started my career in politics, somehow fortunate enough to land exactly where I always wanted to be. I saw the power of communicating, became part of the work to transform ideas into reality. Stories raised awareness… that awareness elevated policy… and that policy changed lives.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">More than two decades since that day, I stand ready for “next” – for whatever the next day brings, the opportunity that is to come. There is so much more to do.</p>
