I build media narratives and thought leadership that shape how organizations are understood.

I've built communications and media functions that turn organizational priorities, data, and industry trends into stories for national audiences.

At Mind Share Partners, I served as the founding communications leader, owning earned media, content, executive communications, and the editorial calendar. I shaped the narrative for its Mental Health at Work research, including a Harvard Business Review byline that helped generate 100+ media mentions; 2021 report data was later cited in U.S. Surgeon General guidance on workplace mental health.

I also helped build Leaders Go First into an award-winning national campaign, partnered with MSP leaders on messaging and media training, and tripled inbound media inquiries. My work included client stories, Forbes and Thrive Global columns, fast-turn newsjacking, agency partnerships, and relationships with national, HR, and business media.

Earlier, at eLearning Mind, I drove $800K in new sales through B2B content strategy and secured coverage that influenced two $100K+ client deals. I've also led PR for First Friday Las Vegas, supported Downtown Project portfolio companies, and advised independent clients on media relations and content strategy.
