Throughout my career, I've held a wide range of communications positions, each of which has shaped who I am as a writer, strategist, and storyteller. My years as a multimedia journalist made me more curious and empathetic. My work in social media and science communications helped me take even the most complicated topics and boil them down to something the general public can understand and appreciate. And, my experience as a brand planner has transformed the way I think about audiences and how brands reach them.
