While serving as Communications Director for the architecture/engineering firm CPL, I dreamt up ways to share CPL’s stories, build relationships and constantly keep the pedal down on creatively promoting their brand, expertise and irresistible work culture. Yeah, there was the standard stuff like brand refreshes, content creation and creative copywriting, but the most fulfilling accomplishments were amplifying their social/digital footprint, media visibly and multi-media capabilities. I also brought creativity to firm events and promotions (like drone golf), as as and forging external partnerships with Pegula Sports and Entertainment and a myriad of industry organizations - all vital in the AEC competitive landscape. Additional, I helped manage the COVID19 related communications sitting on both the company Emergency Response Task force team as well as Strategic Planning Committee.

I served as a freelance food reviewer for Rochester's daily paper. I also, wrote a monthly best of column (2011 to 2018) called "I'm in the Mood For" which was published in Rochester Magazine. Each month I wrote about a trendy, relevant or seasonal food or drink topic and find who's killing it or where to find that hidden gem. From meatballs to margaritas, Brussels sprouts to bloody Mary's, poutine to Pretzels, I scour kitchens and talk to chefs around the region about what makes theirs great. Plus a little drizzle of history in the mix. Also, check out my regular TV, radio and digital appearances...!
