About Jacob McDonald
I am a professional communicator with more than 23 years experience in Army Public Affairs. I specialize in communication planning, crisis communication, conflict management, internal and external communications, and media relations. My background and expertise allow me to leverage writing, photography and data to drive communication efforts to key audiences with effective campaigns. I hold a MS in Marketing - Public Relations. I understand the importance of data-driven communications to reach audiences with relatable messages where they are. I have a passion for telling the human stories behind events, technology or diversity. I believe everyone has a story; we just have to know how to tell it. When we get to know someone else\'s story, it expands our knowledge and ability to empathize.
