I am an experienced writer, editor and journalist, with core skills honed over more than a decade with The Washington Post but also covering technology over several digital platforms, eager to share my expertise, passion, and curiosity. More recently I have been a communications manager developing and executing communications plans and deliverables in support of various organizations regarding technology, the Smart Grid, energy and transportation innovations, and law enforcement, respectively. Duties included writing and editing newsletters and Internet sites for national and global audiences with proficiency in promoting world-class brand platforms while managing Web content (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, and videography), writing speeches and scripts for executives, maintaining strategic rhetorical voices, curating subscriber and member lists, managing crisis communications to national media, and directing editorial calendars to engage media outlets and maximize targeted audiences. The results from external audiences have unfailingly yielded double-digit increases in page views, click-throughs, and readership subscriptions. I am accustomed to using each Word, WordPress, MailChimp, PowerPoint, Constant Contact and other digital design and graphics tools. My different clients and readerships have broadly included both general audiences and federal agencies such as the Joint Planning and Development Office for the Next Generation Air Transportation System, along with the FAA, NASA, CDC, Department of Energy (Smart Grid), Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, as well as non-profits ranging diversely from the Propane Education & Research Council and the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, to the National Organization for Women Legal Aid & Defense Fund. I am well experienced in working closely with scientific and policy experts to communicate high-level subjects and thought-leadership topi
