Building Brands, Leading Change, Engaging Readers

I’ve honed my skills by playing strategic communications roles at hospitals/health systems, medical schools and universities. Often a bridge to new technology, I created many organizations first social media accounts and web pages. I’ve managed budgets and teams both large and small, and advised CEOs and deans on communications strategy. A lifelong learner, I am highly adaptable and apply my experience to developing teams and creating work that informs, delights and makes a difference.
