As Corporate Communications Manager, I developed and executed all aspects of the firm's public and media relations plan. I was also responsible for managing the social media strategy and execution. Additionally, I led the internal communications strategy to reach more than 2,000 employees in 60 offices across the world. Tactics used included videos, feature stories, and other materials.My automotive background allowed me to conduct value-added events and presentations, including an autopilot vehicle demonstration by Tesla for the Arizona Department of Transportation, Maricopa County Department of Transportation, and other key transportation officials in Phoenix, Arizona. I also served as an automotive expert during an informational presentation to the Pennsylvania Insurance Commission, answering questions about fleet turnover, autonomous vehicle timelines, and specific autopilot technology.
