I am a communications director at a top ten public national university. I seek out interesting stories that promote the culture and spirit of my organization, acting as a producer for complex projects and translating difficult concepts into compelling narratives anyone can understand. I'm equally proficient in internal and external communications and find joy in speechwriting and journalistic storytelling.Specialties:Managing creative projects from concept to final productWriting and creating presentations for diverse audiencesInfusing educational content with warmth and humorProducing compelling photo shoots Writing engaging press releases Writing quirky/offbeat features stories Three other things about me:- I enjoy interviewing people and start almost any project with an informal interview to learn more about my collaborators. - I love animals and grew up in a house with five cats and two dogs (and one very powerful vacuum). - A former competitive swimmer, I still find the smell of chlorine comforting.
