Everything and everyone has a story. How effective are you at communicating it? As an award- winning content creator with over 15 years of experience, I have crafted and delivered stories across multiple platforms. I have built a career that includes extensive award- winning work as a featured anchor, reporter, producer and editor. The resulting content has been shared via social media, websites, broadcast, and as key supportive material in corporate presentations. I am active in providing media training for television, radio, and print interviews. In a similar capacity, I’ve delivered proven results when it comes to developing marketing strategies for new products, leading and training a team, plus evaluating the utilization of media to optimize branding.
