At UAB Heersink School of Medicine, I lead strategic communications and advise leaders across 13 biomedical, basic science, and patient care units. As Assistant Director, I lead a team of 4 communicators.
I've directed executive communications for the Dean and managed messaging around the school’s tripartite mission, values, and the Dean’s role as CEO of UAB Health System.
At Mayo Clinic, I managed internal messaging for Accreditation, Infection Prevention and Control, Patient Experience, Patient Safety, Health Equity and Inclusion, and the Complex Behaviors Committee. Earlier, I built B2B marketing programs at Alden Systems and coordinated email, web, and social channels for The Bell Center.
I bring a background in English and sociology to narrative strategy, publications, social media, and team leadership. My work has included a statewide daily COVID-19 report, communications strategy for a Dean’s Office team, and a first-authored article in Oxford Press’s Academic Medicine.
