I write well so you don’t have to.
I’m an award-winning communications pro with 15+ years of experience across internal and external communications, employee engagement, public relations, journalism, and project management. Before joining RAND as an Internal Communications Manager I helped nonprofits and startups build communications strategies that actually worked.
Now, as the director of RAND’s Internal Communications, I work with executive leaders on strategic communications. I also lead a team of specialists who partner with stakeholders across the organization to produce staff-facing corporate messaging that’s effective and, when appropriate, delightful.
Deadlines are my love language and I’m as passionate about process as I am about product. As a former college English instructor, I know all about “the rules.” I also know when to break them. I’m the proud owner of a stack of style books, but I’m not a jerk about it.
