I love bringing diverse people together and breaking down barriers to understanding. 🌎 But for years, I didn’t make that a priority professionally.Instead, I was helping agencies connect traditional healthcare, technology, scientific development, and financial services companies to their customers. Some of those clients are household names: Anthem/WellPoint, Charles Schwab, GE, Mount Sinai Health System, Nationwide, PNC.Since I went solo in 2015, though, I’ve found that I’m happiest 😁 when I’m serving purpose-driven companies, nonprofits, and nongovernmental organizations that are addressing economic and social injustice.In particular, I’m interested in: • ⛑️ Health equity, women’s health, and public health • 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿 Unity among ethnicities, cultures, and races • 👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼 Equality of women and men • 🥣 Food production, poverty alleviation, and climate change • 🕊️ Community and societal development, governance, and peace I have a reputation as a very quick study 🤓, a straight shooter, and a loyal collaborator. Raised in blue collar ranching and farming communities in the Far West and Northeast United States, I bring a fresh take to communications. It’s practical. Not precious.My greatest joy comes when I’m stepping over geographic, cultural, and economic lines, using a consultative approach to bring together diverse viewpoints 🫶🏻 and drive unified action. I’m always happy to pitch in with like-minded agencies, or to draw on my network of long-time collaborators to complete multidimensional projects. And I offer targeted marketing packages for small organizations—whose impact 💥 demands the same knowledgeable support that larger groups often take for granted.Hi!
