With more than a decade of media and communications experience from broadcast to public relations, my strengths lie in leveraging mobile, web and social technology to drive measurable marketing, communications and public relations results for clients and organizations both for profit and not for profit.

I ve held various leadership roles and am at my best when managing ambiguity and defining functions and strategies to execute and deliver results.
