About

Writer. Communicator. Storyteller. Advocate. Teacher. Volunteer. Mom. Friend. Daughter. Wife. Athlete. Human. Digital Nomad. I wear many hats and my heart on my sleeve. In all of these roles there is one thing that never wavers, my passion for making this world a better place.

For more than 20 years, I have brought this passion to my work in consumer-facing integrated marketing communications and Brand PR for organizations ranging from start-ups to corporations with 10,000+ employees. My career has spanned multiple sectors including food, beverage, consumer packaged goods, travel, hospitality, wellness, healthcare, retail, education, non-profit, outdoor wilderness, construction and e-commerce.

With a specialty in crisis communications, issues and reputation management, I train c-suite executives and organization decision-makers providing strategic counsel on crisis preparedness, management and recovery. Being nimble and creative serves me well in conceptualizing, managing and implementing impactful local, regional and national programs to raise awareness of organizations and their products or services.

I am especially passionate about corporate social responsibility and social impact work having spent more than 15 years building and directing mutually beneficial public, private, NGO partnerships to address key social issues including hunger, education, economic development and sustainability. A creative problem solver and do-er, I am equally comfortable in the boardroom as I am in the trenches.

People know me as a fiercely loyal dog mom, Valley Humane board member and volunteer, dog and kitten rescuer, skier, paddleboarder, yogi and Barre lover who relishes the outdoors, a good soundbath and a hearty belly laugh. Now and again I am known to hula hoop in my office – now, via Zoom – to make my team smile.
