I’ve been a writer and message strategist for more than two decades, including acting as a senior communications adviser for former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, a chief communications officer for the Baltimore City Health Department, and a media relations and public affairs specialist for the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

​

With my deep background in advocacy communications, I’ve written everything from press kits, to grant reports, program profiles, legislative testimony and newsletters. As a regular contributor to several popular women’s online magazines, including Bustle.com and Romper.com, I’ve covered national news, health, politics, and culture for an audience of up to 15 million web visitors.

Because I understand how journalists approach storytelling, I can help you uncover the most interesting, newsworthy angles to help garner positive coverage. I can also craft crisp, memorable quotes that keep your messaging front and center in resulting stories.

I’ve also been blogging and creating social media content for my clients since the dawn of Twitter, helping clients turn boring, un-“like”-able feeds into popular, energetic, and influential reflections of their brands. But more than that, I’ve designed social media programs that generate momentum across all my clients profiles, helping to turn clicks into donations, follows into clients, and shares into clout — both online and off.

I believe in the healing powers of a Golden Girls marathon, the Tao of Douglas Adams, the superiority of Marvel over DC, and the unparalleled excellence of East Carolina barbecue. I’m a mom of three amazing little girls — who have declared themselves the first fire-fighting astronaut princesses the world has ever known, by the way. And my husband and I spend lots of time exploring the breweries and foodie scene around Memphis.
