About
My natural nosiness, er, curiosity served me well during my years in journalism, and it’s a great skill for supporting clients’ communications needs. I love the variety of working with different types of clients and initiatives. At the same time, I also love “putting down roots” with longtime clients where you’ve built a deep trust and shorthand together. I’m a total nerd for the AP Stylebook. Thanks to my news training, I can pivot, embrace change and keep my cool during client crises when things are hitting the fan.
