A seasoned communications professional

I am a professional wordsmith — a freelance writer, researcher, and communications strategist. And I’m glad you stopped by! Let me tell you about myself and how we might work together.

My specialty is crafting client messaging that captivates and compels action. My work has resulted in greater visibility, better understanding, and measurable outcomes for my clients.

I have worked closely with influencers of all stripes — from politicians, military officers, academics, and authors, to entertainers, sports figures, media personalities, and business leaders.

In addition to my blog, you will find my work published in a variety of online and print outlets. These include The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture; Washington Times; Orange County Register; Christian Post, Providence Journal, and Conejo Valley Lifestyle Magazine among others.

Juggler and wearer of many hats

Along the way, my professional journey has included roles as press secretary, researcher, and copy editor. I helped orchestrate the 100th birthday celebration of a U.S. president, worked in command central at the Olympics, chauffeured dignitaries, assisted members of Congress,and advanced for a presidential candidate.

I’m a transplanted California Girl living in Northern Virginia with my husband of 30+ years. Together, we own a boutique public relations firm that caters to global, high-tech clients. We have raised two exceptional daughters, traveled widely, lived as expats briefly, and served our local communities gratefully.  I hold a Masters of Public Policy from Pepperdine University.
