   A good communicator can message anything. I know, I have built a career doing it.Starting at a public relations agency that only took one client per industry honed my ability to adapt as I jumped easily between audiences and tones. It was there that I learned I can not only write well, but quickly. Most recently I led strategic communications for the state chamber of commerce in North Carolina, a business advocacy group representing organizations of every size and industry. For 13 years I developed strategies to elevate not only the chamber’s brand, but the needs of the broad-based business community.My work has garnered national awards, landed top media placements, increased engagement, helped secure legislative wins, and grown businesses. I am excellent at telling stories, let me help you tell yours.
