   As Communications Director for EY’s US-West region, I develop and direct fresh, impactful communication strategies to connect our people with each other and our purpose, advance our firm’s inclusive culture, and equip our teams to build a better working world. I lead an outstanding team of internal and external communications professionals to inform, inspire, and engage our people in 25 offices. Working closely with senior Partners, I incorporate business priorities and goals into innovative communications with internal/external brand impact, including presentations, programs, videos, webcasts, social media, and events. My role covers content from creation to distribution, for needs ranging from executive messaging to crisis management, from wellbeing to corporate responsibility. Throughout my EY career, I have focused on advancing engagement with key stakeholders. Previously, I worked with executives and EY teams to assess and strengthen client relationships. As a Business Development Executive, I helped grow revenue within strategic accounts and EY’s tax practice. My business development experience includes leading strategic pursuits and proposals, managing client accounts, building external alliances, and developing and leading marketing strategies.I also spent ten years in Human Resources roles that encompassed recruiting, performance evaluation, compensation and benefits, alumni relations, and employee communications. I enjoy serving the community and previously served on the Boards of Junior Achievement and Camp Sol, and as a volunteer for March of Dimes, American Heart Association, and United Way. I value opportunities to serve as a mentor and to use my experience and skills to help others achieve their greatest potential and ambitions.
