Vast experience in nearly every area of marketing/communications, including storytelling, photography, videography, video production, graphic design, publications and internal communications.My background is in traditional media having worked in the newspaper industry for more than 15 years. I have transitioned to marketing/communications and have found a niche in healthcare organizations.I currently work with Information Services at Arkansas Children’s in Little Rock and have been in charge of internal and external communications for the upgrade to the Epic electronic health record. This includes all communication related to the project in house, as well as patient-facing information.I’m also adept at crisis communication. When Mercy Health needed assistance in the aftermath of an F5 tornado in Joplin, Mo., in 2011, I worked on site for a week. This included drafting of news releases, coordinating interviews with hordes of media, photography, video production and social media coordination. I’ve also coordinated special events, including planning, execution and promotion.
