Career communicator in public relations, journalism, and community relations. My professional life consistently involved my being trusted to engage audiences in public-facing roles. I was the leading voice for the arts as a Dallas City Council member. Before that, I served as an appointed city Cultural Affairs commissioner.
Provided marketing, crisis communications, and media relations consulting. Notably supported Anousheh Ansari's flight to the International Space Station and simultaneous launch of her new tech company.
Lead marketing communications for the buyers of Minyard Food Stores and their redevelopment of the company's Hispanic-oriented brand, Carnival.
Helped build the firm into one of the leading public relations firms in the Southwest. Revenue grew from $250,000 with three staff members to more than $2 million and 22 staff and multiple offices.
I lead account teams serving clients in healthcare, construction, technology, architecture, distribution, aviation, law, retail, hospitality and many more.
Pro bono clients and board service included Arts District Friends, Young Audiences (now Big Thought), Dallas Theater Center, Shakespeare Festival and Pegasus Theater.
