I am a professional storyteller, having spent more than two decades reporting in media markets in Edmonton, Vancouver, and Arizona. I see everyone's unique value and I know how to leverage their talents for the greater good. I ask questions that evoke emotion, ignite conversations, and inspire audiences. I am now using my leadership skills, writing acumen, and media expertise to naturally transition into the field of internal and external corporate communications, specifically within start-ups or not-for-profits that aspire to be game changers. This is where the most impactful stories live and I look forward to discovering and celebrating them because, I believe, success is a goal best shared. My key skills and proficiencies include culture and people leadership, critical thinking, and active listening. I am an ambitious, self-motivated, pro-active strategist and can remain flexible under pressure while meeting multiple, daily deadlines. I also have strong time management skills, am a dynamic, persuasive writer as well as a professional public speaker and presenter.I have a high level of emotional intelligence and use it to foster relationships among team members. I also add to a positive work culture by incorporating levity and humour into daily interactions to improve morale. I love helping people find new passions and assist them in igniting old ones in a bid to discover their optimum value, both personally and professionally.
