Why partner with me?

Discovering why African elephants love acacia bark (tastes like pumpkin!)

Freezing my butt off in Nebraska (worth it!) to experience thousands of Sandhill Cranes migrating north

Waddling with Gentoo penguins in Antarctica (they require far less gear than I do)

What my eyeballs are doing when they're not on your comms

Curiosity and passion are my compass.

A lot of consultants could help you organize your comms. But they will not bring as much curiosity and passion for what you’re doing as I will. I’m going to build a relationship with you. Ask questions. Embrace your vision and assess your challenges. I’ll consider the future you’re creating, collaborate on a confident plan, and help you set yourself up for success.

I’ve been a strategist for 20 years, most recently as a marketing agency managing director, and previously as a nonprofit marketer. I’ve been fortunate to teach and learn from some of the best brand and marketing leaders in manufacturing, healthcare, finance, retail, higher education, and the nonprofit sector. My LinkedIn profile will tell you what I’ve done.

But the why of my work matters vastly more to me than the what.

My projects have directly contributed to:

funding wildlife conservation
securing classrooms against active shooters
alerting consumers to potentially deadly counterfeit alcohol
ensuring patient safety protocols in hospitals
helping corporations align to their employees’ values
getting underemployed people into job training programs, and
enabling community groups to apply for grants.

It’s in the why and how that clients experience the value of my partnership. I’m excited about getting excited with you about your vision. Let’s collaborate!
