ABOUT ME

 
208A8363_FINAL_WEB.jpg

With more than a decade of strategic communications experience, I specialize in guiding executives and creative content development.

I cut my teeth at two PR agencies — Keybridge Communications and Edelman — writing op-eds, developing brand narratives, and managing clients before moving in-house to serve as speechwriter for former Senator Chris Dodd at the Motion Picture Association of America. After a few years in sunny Southern California, where I led marketing and communications at the Orange County Community Foundation, I’m back on the east coast at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), leading global internal and external communications for the world’s insight network.

Over the years, I’ve written everything from 40 character tweets to 30 minute keynotes for a host of purposes and people from executives to ambassadors, tech icons to nonprofit leaders. My work has been published in outlets including the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times — to name a few.
