About Me
I'm a driven public servant working to improve the reputation of public-serving organizations and engage their audiences through public affairs, strategic communications, and public relations.
I’ve worked in media relations, strategic communications, branding, and digital. Through various internships, part-time roles, and contract jobs, I have experience at multiple levels of government and with nonprofits of all sizes.
I have worked on media relations campaigns, managed organization's images, and developed social media content that engages audiences. I work with a strategic mindset to drive meaningful, purposeful results.
I've developed social media campaigns, crafted engaging stories for email marketing, built websites, and written blogs. By creating unique content for an organization, I can engage audience members and share stories that inspire them to action.
