I'm a high energy and high impact PR pro, hunting down stories, engaging leaders and executing persuasive multichannel strategies for more than 15 years. What has the road looked like?Moving around as a kid taught me to embrace diverse perspectives and learn new languages (literally and figuratively).Fundraising taught me that audience analysis fuels persuasive pitching, and that listening is everything.Consulting at independent PR agencies taught me to balance quick wins with effective long-term strategies, in any market and on any budget. Leading corporate PR at a Fortune 500 medtech company taught me to navigate heavily matrixed organizations, find reputation-building stories everywhere and tell them so they stick.And parenting two small kids (especially through a pandemic!) taught me more about living my values—and staying cool under pressure—than any challenge I’ve ever taken on at work.All of it taught me to find the fun wherever I am, and what it really means to show up for myself, my teams and the organizations I serve. Onward!
