A journalist at heart, a communications professional by day, I am a forever learner determined to help others and enact change through the power of storytelling. I thrive on genuine connection and strive to create relatable material. A self-starter with experience building projects from scratch, engaging multiple partners and developing strategic digital marketing plans. Successfully launched and managed a community magazine and volunteer my time on committees to improve pediatric palliative care and health services for children with serious medical conditions. I am searching for cracks in time to write my next book: A unique look at how a crime journalist, me, covers my own family's story of childhood cancer. Delving into the personal thoughts and reflections of my son's doctors and health care providers, I piece together all sides of this tragic love story that begins and ends with a little boy and one bad cell.
