With research, editorial and critical thinking skills honed as an award-winning investigative journalist, I provide strategic communication counsel and support to anticipate, identify and effectively manage issues. My communication skills and collaborative nature have contributed to my success in managing large projects, developing public relations strategies and implementing communication plans. I possess an insightful, decisive and results-driven nature, business acumen and an ability to act with sound judgment and credibility, particularly in interactions with senior executives and key stakeholders. At all times, I generate solutions that focus on the promoting my organization’s mission, vision and values. I am a leader in using a variety of software and online tools to measure and analyze the social media response to sensitive issues. My innovative work in this area has given my organization critical early alerts to reputational risks and helped our public relations team form targeted responses based on quantifiable evidence, rather than best guesses.
