The Palm Tree Type, LLC

If you’re in need of someone to help unearth, craft or share your story, I may be your type. I’m a professional storyteller with 17+ years of public relations experience – from planning and implementing communication efforts both at global agencies and in-house, to planning immersive culinary experiences at the James Beard House and managing crisis communications response during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (and now, a global pandemic). I'm passionate about stories – finding them, reading them, writing them and sharing them. Nothing inspires me more than the search for the right words, messages and outlets. I have had the privilege to cultivate this passion professionally, having spent the bulk of my career sharing stories on behalf of the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, Visit Pensacola, Visit Virginia Beach, Virginia Tourism Corporation, The Pearl Hotel, WaterColor Inn, The Fascination and SweetPea, to name a few. My media relations efforts have generated coverage in the likes of CNN, Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes, The New York Times, Travel + Leisure and USA Today, and I consider my media relationships to be my most coveted currency. My portfolio of communications services includes: - Communications Strategy & Planning - Media Relations - Editorial Content Strategy & Development - Feature Writing - Crisis Communications
