I create integrated and inclusive communications plans and campaigns and craft authentic and compelling stories that educate, inform and inspire people to action. My career in public relations and communications spans many sectors including: financial services, hospitality and tourism, food and beverage, fashion and fitness, entertainment, arts and culture, government granting foundations and not-for-profit charitable organizations. I provide advice, guidance, direction and support to senior leadership and staff around communications initiatives by identifying, developing, executing and evaluating communications plans and strategies and managing associated activities. I specialize in strategic communications planning, editorial writing, copywriting and editing, media relations and publicity, digital and social media strategy development, content marketing and community engagement. I'm also a senior writer for local and national publications and platforms where I write about issues that address themes like compassion, community, identity and belonging.I strongly believe in the value of giving back and showing up for each other. I'm passionate about civic engagement and committed to building a more compassionate and inclusive society. I believe everyone deserves a seat at the table and strive to ensure that vulnerable, marginalized and racialized communities feel seen, heard and understood, without judgment, and know that they matter.There are three things you should know about me. First, storytelling is my passion and being a compassionate communicator comes naturally to me. Second, I'm a cheerful connector who enjoys and excels at bringing people together. Finally, I'm a determined dreamer and I thrive on making the impossible, possible.
