My Career to Date
Biotech Communications Leader with 20 Years of Service
I can't believe I'm writing this, but in the fall of 2025 I will celebrate 20 years of professional communications and marketing experience in the biotechnology, life science and healthcare industries.
Throughout my career, I have been the voice behind nearly a dozen executives, providing counsel and support for their thought leadership and presentation needs—from slide decks to talking points to speechwriting and beyond. I have served as a corporate spokesperson for analysts, advocates and media, securing both trade and top-tier media coverage for numerous corporations.
I have designed events for 1,000 employees and launched social media channels and intranets for multi-national corporations. Further, I have developed communications strategies for celebrity awareness campaigns and been the strategic lead for numerous crisis management campaigns across product recalls, stock price fluctuations, merger & acquisitions and executive transitions, to name a few.
While all of this is exciting, nothing inspires me more than the adventure that lies ahead.
