Writer. Thinker. Fixer. That’s how I describe what I do—and what I’ve done for more than two decades across higher education, public utilities, and freelance projects. My career has been built on a deep love of language, a knack for translating complexity into clarity, and a lifelong fascination with the tools that help us communicate smarter and more effectively. I’ve spent most of my professional life leading strategic communications for large public organizations. Whether working on a capital campaign for a university, a regulatory messaging initiative for a public utility, or a personal branding project for a professional, my goal is always the same: shape words that move people. And I do that with equal parts strategy, empathy, and technical skill. A Writer First—Always At my core, I’m a writer. I’ve written thousands of pieces: feature stories, bios, campaign scripts, press releases, newsletters, crisis communications, executive speeches, internal updates, talking points, taglines—you name it. My writing voice is adaptable, authentic, and always grounded in the needs of the audience. I know how to bring the soul out of a story, the substance out of data, and the power out of a message. My writing style is clean, structured, and versatile. I can toggle between formal and conversational tones with ease and am especially good at writing for people who aren’t exactly sure what they want to say—yet. I help them find it. Hone it. Make it land. Experience That Cuts Across Disciplines I bring a unique blend of academic training to my work: a Master of Public Administration and a Juris Doctor. This background helps me approach communication challenges with more tools in the toolbox—thinking like a strategist, writing like a journalist, and questioning like a lawyer. It gives me the ability to balance creativity with precision and storytelling with structure. In my career, I’ve led the communications functions for two large organizations: Northern Kentucky University, where I served for over a decade as Director of Marketing and Communications. I was the university’s chief spokesperson and messaging strategist during a time of tremendous growth and transformation. I led an institutional rebrand, built the university’s first strategic marketing plan, and oversaw a full web rebuild, all while managing a team of 14 professionals across disciplines. Sanitation District No. 1, the wastewater and stormwater utility serving more than 300,000 people in Northern Kentucky, where I currently lead all enterprise-level messaging. My work has included rebranding a federal consent decree initiative into a story-driven campaign that resonated with the public and redefined the narrative. I manage crisis communications, internal messaging, public engagement, and digital campaigns—all with a strong writing backbone. In both roles, I’ve operated as a working writer, a team leader, and a trusted strategic advisor to top leadership. Tech-Savvy and Tool-Focused Technology isn’t just something I use—it’s something I enjoy. I’ve always been an early adopter of tools that can improve workflow, boost engagement, or unlock new creative possibilities. From AI writing assistants to automation platforms to CMS and analytics dashboards, I’m comfortable navigating—and maximizing—the digital side of communication. I’ve helped teams transition from traditional methods to tech-enabled content strategies, often serving as the “translator” between IT teams and communicators. My goal is always to find the smartest, most efficient way to tell a story—whether that means building a microsite, automating a newsletter, or training a team to use generative AI responsibly. Who I Work With—and What I Deliver I work best with people and organizations who care about their message. That includes: - Leaders who need help shaping their voice or communicating during high-stakes moments. - Organizations looking to unify their brand across platforms and audiences. - Authors or experts who need bios, messaging, or ghostwriting support. - Nonprofits or public agencies that want to connect better with the people they serve. - Clients come to me when something’s unclear, unformed, or unfinished—and they need someone who can fix it. I bring order to chaos, structure to strategy, and voice to vision. That’s the work I love. A Personal Note I’m based in Northern Kentucky and moonlight as a nonfiction writer working on my first nonfiction book—a biography of a sports entertainment legend. I read more than is healthy, love a good true crime drama, and am always tinkering with a better way to explain something complex. If you need a seasoned writer who thinks like a strategist, speaks tech, and delivers clean, on-point copy that makes people care—let’s talk.
