Growing up as a “momma’s boy,” I spent many of nights side-by-side with my mom in the kitchen making delightful food experiences. It was there that I learned the importance that food plays in bringing families together and making memories that last a life time. Fast forward 40-some years later, and I feel like I have come full circle per se, as I am now part of a company doing that exact same thing – creating food experiences. It took me awhile to get to this point, however. From a brief stint in pharmacy, to living out a wild dream as a want-to-be rockstar, to finally realizing my passion for effective storytelling, I have worn many hats on my incredible journey. The lessons I’ve learned along the way have played an integral role in molding me into the person I am today.As a seasoned communications leader, I am always dedicated to making sure every piece stands out from the crowd. Whether it’s an external campaign or internal strategic plan, I pride myself on the ability to recognize and articulate a distinct voice for every project. I also have a strong passion for eliminating well-polished corporate speak, and crafting communications that bring a more conversational and humanistic tone.I always enjoy making new professional acquaintances, so feel free to reach out if you want to talk business, food technologies, or heck - even music. After all, creating and fostering relationships is a cornerstone of conducting business in today's world.Specialties: Leadership, Communications Strategy, Executive Counsel, Crisis Management, Media Relations, Internal Communications, Digital Communications, Advertising, Copywriting, Public Speaking, Media and Speech coaching
