Government of AlbertaPress Secretary
Apr. 2017 - Apr. 2019Edmonton, Canada AreaServing Albertans as a member of the Premier’s Office communications team was an absolute privilege, as well as a challenge unlike any other I’ve experienced to date. As a press secretary I directed the communications activities for ministers' offices. My responsibilities included leading strategic communications planning for new legislation and policies, stakeholder relations and outreach, managing social media and acting as the main media strategist and contact. This role presented a variety of unique communications challenges, and to say I learned a lot about government, public engagement and communications as a whole would be a gross understatement. It was an honour to have this role, and I think I am a better communicator, strategic thinker, and overall person as a result.
