About me

Since completing my bachelor’s degree in Public Relations at Northern Arizona University, I have amassed more than a decade of experience in strategic communications. I have written and edited content for print and digital channels, designed press-ready publications, managed websites, developed email campaigns, and engaged audiences through social media. Most importantly, I have developed and implemented communications plans to support organizations in achieving their strategic goals.

My experience has allowed me to work with diverse teams and collaborators. I take pride in developing strong working relationships and being a trusted partner to my colleagues. My co-workers know they can rely on me for honesty, thorough research, and understanding.

Beyond my professional skills and experience, I consider myself to be a quick learner and a problem solver. I love creating systems and refining processes when I see opportunities for improved clarity or efficiency. I can manage priorities and deadlines independently, but appreciate brainstorming with a team and getting fresh perspectives. I am detail-oriented, committed to quality, and adept at navigating unexpected obstacles.
