I once auditioned for “American Idol.”
And got beaten out by a mime.
Good thing I chose communications as my career path. My professional life has centered on telling stories with impact. I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to create success in strategic, media, business, academic, internal, external, speechwriting, thought leadership, government/public policy, crisis and rapid response communications. I’ve also demonstrated an ability to build and nurture relationships that grow brand ambassadorship in any professional and personal setting.
