About Me
As a marketing and communications executive, I bring more than 20 years of experience transforming complex missions into strategies that drive growth, influence, and trust. I’ve led national and global initiatives that strengthened organizational reputation, advanced public health priorities, and generated multimillion-dollar results across healthcare, government, and nonprofit sectors. My leadership includes overseeing marketing for a $4B NIH health IT portfolio and guiding award-winning campaigns for the American Nurses Association and Heart Rhythm Society. With a Doctor of Business Intelligence (Marymount Univ.), an MBA (American Univ.), and an MPS in Public Relations and Corporate Communications (Georgetown Univ.), I unite data-driven insight with strategic storytelling to position mission-focused organizations for sustained impact and industry leadership.
I specialize in business development (B2B2C), digital marketing, brand strategy, market research, and public relations.
