A little bit of this, a little bit of that...as the song goes, it captures the essence of the skills and attitude I have crafted during my years in the not-for-profit, health care and small business arenas. Managing primary responsibilities--plus handling "all other duties as assigned"--has enabled me to develop a turn-on-a-dime mindset where no task is too large or too small to be tackled and completed with the highest degree of quality. I am an accomplished public relations professional, proficient in developing and enhancing top-of-mind awareness and a positive company image; effectively communicating mission and message; creatively managing resources and budget; prioritizing multiple projects and responsibilities; and successfully working both independently and collaboratively with team members who support and enhance the organization. I believe that the foundation of every strong business is frequent, appropriate and effective internal and external communication. My specialties include: superior writing and creative development; strong presentation skills for diverse audiences; detailed event planning; community relations/education and donor management; advertising and media relations; website, social media and e-communication; relationship and rapport-building; and fanatical organizational ability.I have developed a reputation for excellence, empathy, and a can-do spirit. I am a people person who enjoys making new acquaintances; feel free to connect with me both personally and professionally. I'm also a dog person but I won't hold it against you if you prefer cats!
