Strategic Communications Executive | Public Affairs Advisor | Crisis Comms & Brand Reputation Pro
Verified
I am a strategic communications leader with deep experience in government, public health, nonprofit, and consulting environments. I have built and led municipal communications departments from the ground up, served as a chief spokesperson during crises, and advised senior executives on media strategy, stakeholder engagement, and brand management. My approach blends disciplined execution with creative storytelling - always aligned with values, always focused on impact.
Most recently, I have worked with the Westfield Regional Health Department and NJACCHO to elevate public health messaging and train local officials in effective media engagement. Before that, I led communications for the City of Summit, NJ, where I expanded digital platforms, developed community trust initiatives, and built a crisis comms framework that became a model for other cities.
I bring a unique mix of executive-level strategy, hands-on tactical skill, and a deep understanding of public service. I’m also a committed mentor, board member, and collaborator who thrives in mission-driven environments. Now based in the Southeast, I’m open to new partnerships, roles, and conversations that move meaningful work forward.More...
