About

I’m a communications, editorial, and operations professional with more than 15 years of experience helping organizations communicate clearly, serve their audiences, and navigate complex, high-stakes work. My background spans government, journalism, publishing, public affairs, and regulated industries, with experience leading communications teams, managing publications, developing public education materials, building business operations, and translating complicated information into clear, accessible content.

Throughout my career, I’ve combined strategic thinking with hands-on execution—from writing and editing to project management, stakeholder engagement, and organizational problem-solving. I’ve founded and operated publications, doubled advertising revenue, led a five-person communications operation, and supported complex initiatives involving substantial financial and operational responsibilities.

As a lifelong hearing-impaired professional, I also bring firsthand experience with communication barriers and the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and making information understandable to different audiences. I value integrity, professionalism, collaboration, and practical solutions. I’m interested in opportunities where I can contribute my experience, continue learning, and help organizations make a meaningful difference in the communities they serve.
