Recognized as one of the nation’s Top Women in PR by PR News, I work with organizations to help them tell their story through the filter of strategic communications. From your ads to your social media presence, news releases, cause marketing and website content, I am passionate about determining the best way to tell an organization's story to support its goals in areas such as building culture, sales, creating brand awareness, engaging brand ambassadors and talent recruitment. Additionally, I am known for big, creative ideas and embrace (smart) risks to push my clients forward. In 2008 I took the biggest personal risk and launched Red Shoes PR in Appleton, Wisconsin. This coming spring we will mark 12 years in business.
