Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gary Oberg. I’m a communications and digital events professional with over two decades of experience creating compelling presentations, coordinating livestreamed events, and producing multimedia that reinforces brand standards across campus, corporate, and client settings.
I’ve led projects from concept to delivery—developing training videos, marketing collateral, and social media assets—while keeping a sharp eye on branding and stakeholder needs. I’m excited to bring that mix of storytelling, technical know-how, and hands-on execution to new challenges.
