I work to be sure everything we communicate on behalf of our clients tells their story in the most engaging, authentic way possible

Back when I started as a PR intern in the mid-80s, I was thrilled to have a phone and chair in a hallway and get paid five bucks an hour

We have amazing clients who truly help me become better at what I do
Every day presents a new communications challenge for our clients. It’s so fulfilling to help people I respect successfully navigate those challenges

Helping a client tell their story to diverse audiences via one strategically designed brand collateral piece
Growing clients’ reach on social media through meaningful content and strategic promotional efforts
Telling a local non-profit’s story about its proven approach to treating an extremely complex worldwide health problem

After spending a few years caring for my daughters when they were young, I spent eight years as a partner at a marketing communications agency in Baltimore
Before the hiatus and Baltimore, I spent four years as a contractor focused on strategic communications, video production and collateral development for the National Institutes of Health
I began my career as a college intern at a national medical association in DC. They hired me after I graduated and ultimately promoted me to assistant director of PR

I love spending time with my husband and two daughters
I value experiences over material things, so I’m always looking for something fun and different to do (usually involving food). And when I’m not traveling, I’m planning my next trip
We currently have two crazy goldendoodles, the acquisition of which makes me question my sanity on a daily basis
I love to cook, but with a vegetarian, pescetarian, carnivore and perpetual dieter (me) in the house, lately it’s everyone for her/himself (except the dogs)
Because I love food so much, I have a love/hate relationship with daily exercise
