I am driven to maximize brand impact by marrying creative storytelling with tireless effort and meticulous attention to the finest of details, resulting in compelling communications campaigns. I have a unique combination of experience with large & boutique PR agencies, in-house corporate comm's for a publicly traded company, and comm's for a fast-growing health tech startup.

Over the course of my 20 years in public relations and communications, I have never backed down from a challenge. Throughout my career, I have taken on specialties with which I had no prior experienceโentertainment, travel and hospitality, design, digital media, health, AI, corp comms, crisis comms, and internal commsโand quickly thrived, rising to the top in each situation Iโve tackled. In my current role as head of communications for Akido Labs, I lead all external and internal comm's for the fast-growing health AI startup.

Iโm known for my ability to set large-scale strategy, delegate tasks to my team, and guide projects to successful completion on or before deadlines. I do this by setting high performance standards for those I work with and providing hands-on mentoring that enables my team to produce superior results. By developing relationships across companies and brands, I connect leaders and gain buy-in for strategic campaigns.
