I’m a strategic communications leader with 20+ years of experience driving organization-wide efforts to strengthen engagement, visibility, and impact—particularly in science and public health. At the National Cancer Institute and in prior roles supporting federal health initiatives, I’ve led cross-functional teams, developed enterprise-wide strategies, and shaped national campaigns that support healthier communities through clear, impactful communication.Known for a collaborative, people-first leadership style, I bring a strong mix of strategic vision, editorial insight, and hands-on execution. I\'m now seeking new opportunities where I can lead mission-driven communications that elevate science, foster connection, and inspire change.
