About Me

Career Summary

I have more than 10 years of experience in communications and marketing, including social media, blogging, newsletters, SEO, content creation and curation, speechwriting, press relations and more. I have applied these skills across a wide array of industries including finance, accounting, banking, business, economics, politics, cloud computing, environment and public policy. In each of these industries I have bridged the gap between technical and creative. I have a strong technical background and experience with HTML, PHP, WordPress, SharePoint, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and many more CMSs and software packages.
