CURRICULUM VITAE
Communications, Marketing & Events
PROFILE
Communications, marketing and events professional with experience leading high-visibility programs for complex, global organizations. I currently specialize in employee, HR and executive communications, partnering with senior leaders and subject matter experts, including the Chief Human Resources Officer, to translate business and people priorities into clear, thoughtful communications.
My background also includes extensive event and field marketing experience spanning large annual trade show programs, six-figure event budget management, and partner events across the U.S. and internationally. That experience, combined with my communications background, has made me equally comfortable developing the strategy, managing the details and getting the work across the finish line.
