Melissa Eich Email & Phone Number

From my earliest work as a newspaper reporter, I gained a strong professional foundation of valuable skills that have shaped my career from the newsroom to corporate communications to consulting and project management:> Building strong, trusted relationships with my contacts and colleagues. > Being a curious, active listener, asking the right questions. > Quickly understanding and being able to explain new, complex topics.> Sifting through data and numbers to find and verify the true facts. > Looking at topics and issues objectively, understanding diverse perspectives. > An instinct for truth, questioning officials or challenging authority when necessary. As a result, I found and told the important, compelling stories for the community, and I continued to be creative and imaginative, under strict deadlines. These skills and experience have translated throughout my career and have been keys to success, as my work has evolved beyond the newsroom. With a dynamic resume, from corporate communications and marketing to consulting in business analysis and project management with a tech focus, I am a valuable senior level resource, bringing a unique background and adaptable skill set. I learn very quickly, work well with teams, communicate easily, and thrive in new and energetic environments.
