I am a seasoned communications leader with skills in corporate communications, investor relations, crisis management and media relations. I have a passion for capital markets and for telling a company’s story to audiences via traditional and digital channels. I enjoy connecting the dots on how a news headline or economic data release could impact financial markets and organizations each day.

A cliche but oh so true: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Expect windy roads and dead ends and the need to change course a time or two. But that will ultimately make the journey more rewarding.
It has been an evolution. Prior to the pandemic, I had a head-down approach to work and outsourced things in my personal life to make the job work. Post pandemic, I can no longer unknown the importance of work flexibility and I’m actively seeking those opportunities that allow me to utilize my skills but in a more flexible operating environment.
