PR Pro with nearly two decades of experience helping businesses get their stories out into the world. I work with startups, lifestyle and tech companies. I work with an amazing team of account managers to meet PR and communication goals for nearly a dozen tech clients, while also managing our in-house operations (onboarding, workflows, training).

I help tech & lifestyle brands execute PR strategy through storytelling. In addition to advising clients on strategy, I oversee our team's day-to-day aspects of each client project, including: * press releases & announcements* media lists & pitching * influencer outreach* written content* contributed content * project metrics * social media strategy

I help solopreneurs and small businesses kickstart their PR & marketing. My consulting clients get the tools & training to manage their communications strategy until they grow into needing a PR firm. From creating copy to managing media relationships, we cover it all in our strategy sessions. For those who need a bit more input, I offer additional services including writing, media outreach, and project management.

I help Marketburst clients get their stories out through web content, blogs, social media posts, and monthly newsletter content.
