As an investigative print journalist for nearly a decade, I reported on crime, courts, health, and entertainment across California, Florida, and Nevada. My passion for storytelling, precision in reporting, and a desire to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" by exposing the truth earned me recognition and a deep understanding of the power of narrative.Transitioning into public relations, I served as Editor-in-Chief for Sharp HealthCare's employee and customer magazine, guiding content strategy and production for one of San Diego’s largest employers. For seven years, I helped shape the voice of the organization, bringing complex healthcare topics to life and fostering a stronger connection between the company, its employees, and its patients.As the Manager of Marketing Communications for Breg, Inc., I led initiatives that cultivated employee engagement and trust. I managed corporate and customer communications, consistently delivering compelling employee profiles and updates that resonated with diverse audiences. I produced internal newsletters, orchestrated companywide town hall events, and created targeted communications meant to inspire and inform.In addition to my work experience, I hold a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of California at Santa Cruz and a specialized certification in copyediting from the University of California at San Diego Extension.Throughout my 25-year career as a writer and editor, I’ve been driven by a commitment to accuracy and quality, and a belief in the transformative power of storytelling. I excel at crafting messages that not only inform but also forge meaningful connections and drive action, ensuring that every piece of content I create leaves a lasting impact.
