Professional Experience
I am a strong writer at home writing for the web/social media, print, broadcast as well as corporate reports and speeches for senior level executives.
My public relations/public affairs background covers numerous industries ranging from automotive to entertainment (movie and TV studios) to cause related campaigns for major non-profits and fortune 500 companies. I've also helped many smaller groups gain high visibility in the New York City, Washington, DC and international marketplace.
