I am a results-oriented communication professional with over a decade of experience. I am currently earning my PhD in communication, but immediately prior I was in charge of marketing at a top-tier Washington, DC management consulting firm. I have worked as a journalist, editor, brand consultant, public speaking trainer, collegiate instructor, website designer, and public relations associate. I have experience with messaging, collateral and content creation, blogging, social media marketing, event planning and management, workshop design, SEO, graphic design, CRM/database management, newsletter/e-mail marketing, and writing everything from press releases to lengthy reports. I am passionate about helping individuals and small companies elevate their brands without breaking the budget.
