My passion is empowering my clients with the tools, information, support and confidence they need to fully utilize the power of emerging media and new technology. My background in media and technology gives me a broad range of experience to bring to clients who want to raise their communications level, utilize new technology to reach their target audiences and work effectively with third-party service providers. I am an advocate for my clients, bridging the gap between business and technology, translating complex technical issues into actionable business concepts and making sure they get what they are paying for across the board. I can work independently in communications, technology adaptation, social media and data management, or with your team to help address business challenges, build solutions, train and educate staff and work myself out of a contract. Technology evens the playing field for businesses - regardless or size. A small business can put their best foot forward and have world-class communications, safely, securely and smartly utilizing digital technologies. But too often I see small companies being sold into higher-end solutions that they don’t understand and aren’t staffed to maintain when there are better, more manageable options available. Or where a provider is “doing what the client wants” but not what the client needs.My first question before we start our business relationship will be: What do you want to accomplish? I have worked with Fortune 500 corporations as a journalist, a corporate manager and a senior executive, where I had a record of identifying these creative solutions to business goals that were cost-effective and manageable. My experience includes leadership in communications, journalism, media relations, technology and technology training. I am looking for clients who want a partner to advocate for them, work with them, elevate them and train them to own it over the long term.
