About

I’m a corporate communications and copywriting professional with 12 years of experience supporting healthcare, medical technology, and higher education organizations. I’ve managed global communications at a Fortune 5 tech company, built web content strategies for major healthcare corporations, and led storytelling initiatives that elevate student and faculty outcomes.

Across my roles, I combine clear, audience-first writing with strong project leadership—partnering with subject matter experts, managing content pipelines, and ensuring deliverables meet accessibility and standards requirements. I’m especially energized by turning complex information into usable documentation and compelling narratives that build trust and engagement.
