I’m a strategic communications and public relations professional with 15+ years of experience supporting the growth of companies in a broad set of industries and ranging in size from startups to Fortune 100. I’ve worked at public affairs and public relations firms in both Washington DC and my home state of Colorado, and in 2014 founded MELD Strategy + Communications, a consultancy that supported the launch and growth of companies and brands in the outdoor, tech and energy industries.In 2016 I merged MELD with ECHOS, an agency specializing in helping grow active lifestyle brands through public relations, brand activations, experiences, and social programs. I established the company’s Boulder office and built a team to support ECHOS’ growth in the active lifestyle area. I have been involved in nearly all of the business development initiatives and pitching, from initial research to concept to the meeting table, and helped double revenue from lifestyle clients in less than a year. I bring a sharp eye for detail, expert writing, and deep expertise across the spectrum of public relations including product launches, media relations, building brand awareness, issues management, crisis communications, activations/events, and marketing communications. My experience includes working with Fortune 100 companies, a wide range of consumer brands in the outdoor, active lifestyle and consumer tech areas, as well as technology companies and startups, associations, and non-profit organizations.
