Communications specialist driving internal and external engagement through audience-focused messaging.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Communications Specialist with 8+ years of experience in corporate and internal communications across retail, healthcare, SaaS, and higher education. I build clear, audience-focused messages that strengthen alignment and engagement across internal and external channels.
At IKEA, I supported employee engagement, community partnerships, and organizational campaigns in a high-volume retail environment. I revamped internal communications strategies—using newsletters, digital displays, team huddles, and targeted messaging—to increase employee training participation by 30%, and I published content across Viva Engage, newsletters, and leadership briefings.
I’ve also led work that blends storytelling with measurable outcomes. At 6sense, I developed 100+ internal and external materials, translated complex technical information for both technical and non-technical audiences, and ensured 100% alignment with brand, compliance, and editorial standards. Earlier at Slintel, I launched “The Ultimate Sales Quiz,” generating 3,900+ responses and contributing to a 30% increase in follower engagement, while data-informed content hubs supported a 25% increase in website traffic.
Across my career, I bring a quality-first, collaborative approach—grounded in communication analytics and strong editorial standards. From medical writing and quality review in healthcare to supporting manuscript publishing and student onboarding in academia, I’ve consistently helped teams communicate with clarity, accuracy, and impact.
