Internal Communications Strategist at FMOL Health, shaping enterprise messaging and crisis communications.

At FMOL Health, I develop internal communications initiatives for a regional health system and lead strategy and content across enterprise platforms. I also support the organization’s crisis communications plan and manage the Spirit Shop.

At Louisiana State University, I teach undergraduate crisis communications, helping students learn how organizations monitor, assess, and respond to crises. I develop course materials, facilitate instruction, and provide feedback on assignments.

At LSU Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs, I developed communications strategies for Center programming and initiatives, secured media placements, and led content strategy and information architecture for the Manship School of Mass Communication website. Earlier, at Louisiana Folk Roots, I developed promotional materials and managed digital communications, including a monthly e-newsletter.
