Summary

I'm a senior PR pro with experience in both agency and corporate settings. I've worked with clients of all sizes and across industries. My core strength is as a messaging chameleon, taking on complex perspectives and translating them for relevant stakeholders to promote business objectives. In 2019, I left the PR world to run operations for my family's real estate company which owns a mix of residential, retail, and medical office assets. Having stabilized their business and learned much about the financial realities underpinning all communications work along the way, I am now in search of a position which better aligns with my professional passions.
