A track record securing high-profile press coverage, managing agency partners and guiding crisis comms when needed

Confident copywriting and editorial direction across press releases, thought-leadership pieces, award entries and keynote speeches

Strong digital acumen—overseeing content strategy for web, newsletters and social channels while monitoring analytics and KPIs

Skill building journalist, influencer and stakeholder networks that translate into speaking slots, feature articles and panel invitations

Leadership mindset—mentoring coordinators, aligning directors on messaging priorities and integrating comms into broader BD and HR objectives
