As a public information officer at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for over seven years, I act as a spokesperson and a liaison between the agency and the public through media, legislative, and community engagement. I oversee all news releases, press briefings, press conferences, and media responses for the St. Paul Field Division, which covers four states in the Midwest.I have a passion for sharing the good work that our agents and investigators do on a daily basis to protect the public from violent crime and illegal firearms. I use my skills in strategic communications, writing, and marketing to create and deliver clear, accurate, and timely information to the media and the public, especially during crisis situations. I also maintain strong relationships with partner agency public information officers and news media representatives, and provide media training and guidance to command teams and subject-matter experts.DISCLAIMER: This is my personal account and is not to be considered an official account of my employer.
