My Approach
“My approach to communications begins with understanding the science, the business objectives, and the audiences that matter most. I believe effective communication is built on clarity, credibility, and trust and I translate complex information into messages that are accurate, meaningful, and actionable. Whether supporting a product launch, managing a corporate reputation, navigating a crisis, or positioning executive leadership, I develop strategies that align communications with organizational goals and stakeholder expectations. The result is communications that not only inform, but also build confidence, strengthen relationships, and drive measurable business outcomes.”
Simple idea
“When clients tell me they don't have anything newsworthy to talk about, that's often where my work begins.”
Lasting impact
“I focus on crafting communications that resonate beyond the moments; ensuring each message builds trust, influences perception, and leaves a lasting impact on both reputations and relationships.”

Let’s Get Personal
Q: 1. What is your oddly specific superpower?
Getting people to come together around an idea to take action.
I've been doing it for as long as I can remember.
At 8 years old, I was organizing neighborhood sledding expeditions, assigning friends which sleds to bring so we'd have maximum hill coverage and optimal fun. At 9, I wrote a pitch to my elementary school principal explaining why I deserved one of the most coveted jobs as a School Safety in fifth grade: helping the crossing guard manage a busy four-way intersection for all the “walker” kids. I got the position. At 10, I was running a newspaper route, managing customers, collecting payments, and learning that communication and follow-through matter. At 12, I organized 20 kids to attend a UB40 concert in Philadelphia, coordinating tickets, train schedules, transportation, and logistics before most kids my age could organize their own bedrooms.
Looking back, I wasn't just planning activities, I was building coalitions, pitching ideas, solving problems, and getting people to move in the same direction. I was a communicator before I knew what communications was.
Today, not much has changed except the scale. Instead of organizing sledding trips and concert outings, I'm helping healthcare, wellness, and life science companies launch products, share clinical trial results, preparing executives for high-stakes media interviews, navigating crises, building brand images and corporate reputations, and connecting the right people to solve the right problems.
My superpower isn't communications. It's getting people to believe in an idea, align around it, and take action. Communications just happens to be the tool I use to make it happen.
Q: What story do you never get tired of telling?
These are more my words and I have been saying them for years.
“All relationships, both business and personal, succeed and fail based on communication and when the communication breaks down, the relationship falls apart.” - Leigh Fazzina
