There is no neutral. Everything you do as an organization will either strengthen or weaken your brand.
Over the past 14 years, I've created brand strategies and campaigns for the world's best known and most innovative tech companies and for cash-strapped nonprofits. I've run communications and PR at a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants startup, and I've executed meticulously planned campaigns for Google and breakthrough startups quickly acquired by Salesforce and Yahoo as part of one of Silicon Valley's most highly respected communications agencies. I've spent the last few years with the top branding firm in the nonprofit space, developing brand strategy and campaigns for nonprofits and private schools around the country.
I immerse myself in the brands I'm entrusted to steward and work to break down the barriers built up by industry speak and insider jargon to create stakeholder connections. I meticulously ensure every idea, image, and word will strengthen their reputation and allow them to move forward with the clarity and confidence to leverage their unique assets for growth.
What can I do?
Everything you'd expect of someone with 14 years communications experience in a highly competitive market.
And then some.
I'm adept at both creating and owning brand strategy, writing key messages, developing campaigns, communications planning, and project managing and producing digital projects, including websites and videos. I'm a skilled presenter and facilitator, comfortable in front of crowds big and small. Whether delivering tailored messages and thought-out ideas or brainstorming on the spot, I always put my best foot forward, actively listening to deepen understanding, strengthen relationships, and guide strategy. I'm a go-getter who is always ready to hit the ground running.
My superpower is connecting with clients and stakeholders to understand their needs—
the ones they're articulating and all the ones they're not.
