I'm a passionate business leader, innovator, storyteller and consultant with 20+ years of progressive experience in corporate communications, culture, social impact, employee engagement and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). I pride myself on being a "disruptor," challenging the status quo to lead transformation, cultivate connections, increase awareness, improve brand reputation and drive equity. I've served as the voice of companies large and small to the media, to employees, and before audiences of thousands, and I've coached C-suite leaders to find their voices, too. Focusing on business outcomes, I'm highly adaptable thanks to success working in global organizations (both B2B and B2C) across various industries including healthcare, real estate, retail ad manufacturing -- with world-renowned brands including Target, UnitedHealth Group, WeightWatchers, OfficeMax and Anywhere Real Estate. Core strengths: • Strategic communication planning and consulting • Change and crisis communications • Employee engagement & culture • Executive messaging and coaching • Public and media relations • Writing, editing and AP style • Public speaking, training development and presentation • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging • Community relations, partnerships and outreach • Talent management and leadership development • Meeting and event management
