What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on role where I create and deliver communications myself. I enjoy drafting, editing and publishing, and want to contribute at a company whose work reaches more than 150 million patients a year.

At bswift, I advise VP and C-suite leaders at Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, pharma and financial services, aligning messaging and channels with transformation goals. I’ve supported a four-country HR portal and an enterprise AI program rollout, using stakeholder impact analysis to shape engagement plans.

At NorthShore University HealthSystem, I partnered with executives and clinical leaders on messaging and change communications during significant transformation. I built organization-wide messaging standards, used data analytics to reach a 40% open rate for the annual donor email campaign, and launched the inaugural Powered by Giving virtual series during COVID-19.
