What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading internal communications for distributed teams where I can drive culture, streamline channels, and lead change communications.

I am an internal communications leader with 15+ years of experience crafting human-centered messaging and culture programs for distributed teams. I build editorial calendars, own All Hands and town-hall experiences, and translate complex initiatives into practical communications that build trust and alignment.

At Powur I led internal comms plans, owned channel cadence (email, Slack, intranet), co-led company-wide virtual events, and co-founded an employee feedback-focused Unity Team. I also developed change/crisis playbooks, manager toolkits, and measurement approaches to improve engagement and reduce noise.

I combine cross-functional collaboration with editorial discipline and tools expertise (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, WordPress, and engagement platforms) to create consistent, actionable communications that drive belonging and adoption.
