About (Biography)

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, even when you throw it.

Writing, reading and an overall love of the written word were a big part of my childhood. I spent many happy hours as a child curled up with a good book in the family library.

That affinity for words led me quite naturally to earn a degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I worked the first 15 years of my career in corporate communication doing media relations, internal communications and providing strategic counsel to senior leadership.  Nine of those years were with an architectural firm. In 2005, I started consulting while also doing PR at an ad agency, a role which continued for four years.

Today, I bring that understanding of the perspectives and concerns of corporations, clients, agencies and senior leadership to my clients. I work to ensure our projects are not only well done but also meet higher organizational goals, dovetail with marketing objectives and reinforce brand.
