I am a communications and marketing professional with a passion for the written word. If I can evoke a feeling, or better yet, spur an action with a blog post or an article, I know I've done my job.I have extensive experience in internal communication, from developing, writing, and designing internal newsletters, to planning large scale employee events. I'm driven in delivering messages that improve work environments. I believe that strong employee relations are bolstered with clear messaging and meaningful information; this creates a better environment for employees, which benefits customers and strengthens the bottom line. All this is stems from my personal belief that treating people with respect and dignity means being honest and forthright. My experience in social media management, event planning, web writing, and search engine marketing provides me with a host of strategic communications tools.
