I am an award-winning communications professional with 20+ years of experience crafting strategic programs for B2B and B2C clients. I have a penchant for "connecting the dots," and brands with people in unconventional ways. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies including Dell, Tyson, Kellogg/ Kellanova, Intel, Intuit, PayPal, SAP, Cornerstone and eBay, as well as nimble start-ups like Wonderbag, Catch&Release, Curbside, EBW2020 and non-profits Vital Voices, Watermark and The Whole Story.My passion projects are thought leadership, brand awareness and working on programs centered around the future of food, entrepreneurs, diversity, social good and technology. I have a proven ability to quickly identify positioning strengths and opportunities, mobilize global teams and drive integrated campaigns that include paid, earned, shared and owned elements. I'm a mother of two, wife, daughter, sister, friend and a fiery Libra. More than anything I strive for personal connections and strongly believe effective working relationships must be grounded in a passion for the project.
