With more than fifteen years of communications and research experience, I am adept at interpreting research and data - and distilling it into messaging that is understandable for various audiences. I have counseled and advised many elected officials, public servants, and business and non-profit leaders. I have built and maintained quality relationships with grassroots organizers, media members, educators, and community leaders. My understanding of the importance of relationship building and maintenance allows me to serve and work with many audiences. I have experience with public-private partnerships, community engagement and outreach, and program evaluation. I am confident in integrated marketing communication, including market research, strategic planning, public and media relations, marketing, and advertising.
