  • Jan 2018 - Present

  I've been in the public information and engagement business for 20 years, working in coalitions and crafting non-partisan messages on complex issues. With a variety of healthcare, policy and local government experience, my goal is to help organizations tell their story with pride and integrity. It's not enough to come up with a clever message. The right strategy is intentional in engaging employees, customers, voters, partners and government leaders. This is essential in times of crisis, but also when navigating change.I also have a deep commitment to helping organizational leaders and staff improve their communication skills. This is good for the individuals and the organizations. Media trainings, speaker training, message and writing trainings help grow your capacity; one-on-one coaching also helps individuals address specific challenges.
