I’m a senior Strategic Communications and Public Affairs leader who helps organizations navigate high-stakes moments, shape complex narratives, and build reputations that earn trust. With a rare combination of strategic communications expertise + legal training + legislative and policy experience, I specialize in solving challenging communications problems where precision, clarity, and sound judgment are essential. Across my career—spanning AARP, UPMC Health Plan, America’s Public Television Stations, PNC Financial Services, and the U.S. Department of the Air Force—I’ve led national and enterprise-wide communications strategies that influence public opinion, manage reputational risk, support executive visibility, and align internal and external messaging. My work consistently helps mission-driven organizations strengthen stakeholder relationships, navigate sensitive issues, and communicate with confidence in fast-moving environments. My background as both an attorney and a former registered lobbyist—including experience drafting legislation, advising Members of Congress, and shaping political advocacy campaigns—gives me a deep understanding of how policy, media, and public perception intersect. I frequently help clients develop messaging that supports legislative goals, engages policymakers, and positions organizations effectively in complex political landscapes. What I Bring to Clients High-Impact Strategic Communications I develop clear, targeted narratives and integrated strategies that connect your goals to the audiences who matter most—media, customers, funders, policymakers, and internal stakeholders. Public Relations & Thought Leadership I craft compelling stories, pitches, op-eds, and executive content that elevate your brand, increase visibility, and position leaders as credible, trusted voices in their sectors. Political Advocacy & Government Relations I create messaging and advocacy strategies that support legislative priorities, regulatory positioning, policymaker engagement, and coalition-building. I translate policy and legal issues into accessible narratives that drive action. Crisis & Issues Management With a strong foundation in law and litigation, I handle sensitive reputational challenges—legal disputes, investigations, executive issues, and policy controversies—developing messaging that mitigates risk while maintaining trust. Internal & External Messaging Alignment I bring together PR, employee communications, government affairs, digital content, and leadership messaging to ensure clarity, consistency, and strategic impact across all channels. Executive Advisory & Stakeholder Engagement I coach and support leaders through complex decisions, high-profile media moments, organizational change, and public positioning.

With 11 years of experience at top PR agencies, including DKC, High10 Media and Jonesworks, and in independent consulting, I combine agency-level strategy with creative, hands-on media execution. I move beyond traditional PR to secure earned press that drives growth, generates new business and expands your audience reach.

At nearly every agency in my career, I have independently led PR and positioning efforts for the teams I worked with. This includes securing spots on industry recognition lists such as Observer’s 50 Most Powerful PR Firms and PRWeek’s Power List. I also manage award submissions for teams and campaigns, identify leadership speaking opportunities and develop internal honors and performance case studies. These initiatives build credibility and directly drive new business for an agency.

I I am also a big believer in analytics. They are the only way to prove what marketing tactics are working for you and your company. Every business is unique and although there are tactics that work better than others for most companies, constant message testing, and utilization of unique tools and strategies and A/B testing should always be employed. As you will note, my background is both broad and deep and involves agency and client side marketing, entertainment marketing, heavy online marketing, experiential/event marketing, sponsorship, traditional advertising, guerrilla marketing, social media and other forms of emerging and engagement media as well as significant technology marketing including SaaS, Apps and various other technology products and services.

Then, I went client side and worked for Hilton Hotels for almost 10 years in a senior marketing position overseeing their worldwide corporate partners such as Coca Cola and the Olympics on behalf of all the brands under the Hilton Umbrella. Then I went on to Entertainment and Philanthropy contract positions with Live Earth, TED, and XPRIZE Foundation. With my own company, I have helped over 200 companies become more successful in their marketing strategies and campaigns. I enjoy both small and large companies and very much like long term projects.
