Summary

Former Communications Director comfortable working in a fast paced environment with competing priorities. I am passionate about funding, developing and maximizing program outcomes to best serve clients. My artistic, photographic and web development skills have been refined in various professional roles. I have always been supportive of my associates, and seek optimal outcomes for all involved. I have attended well over (100) Board of Directors meetings, and served on many committees.

My writing and editing skills are highly developed for contractual, technical, proposals, social media, marketing and outreach. I frequently serve as a motivator at work to help associates meet deadlines required by contracts. I am passionate about helping people!
