Experience
Director of Communications
Aug 2023 — Present · Knoxville, TN, US
For 70 years, UT Medical has evolved alongside the community it serves—growing from a research hospital into an academic health system anchored by a 710-bed flagship hospital and more than 30 locations, distinguished by nine Centers of Excellence, comprehensive specialty care, and a mission grounded in healing, education and discovery. As one of the region’s largest employers—with more than team members—we contribute to the economic vitality of East Tennessee. I lead communications, community relations and corporate sponsorship strategy for the system, partnering with the CEO and executive team to advance organizational priorities. I oversee all internal and external communications including executive communications, employee engagement, change management, media relations and crisis response while developing and managing corporate sponsorships and strategic community partnerships that elevate the organization’s brand and regional impact.
