Communications and marketing built across four desks: the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Transurban North America, Sage Communications and the freelance projects that came before all of it. A working record of the work, not a highlight reel.
Started in freelance media relations and brand work, then federal technology and defense PR at Sage Communications, then two roles at Transurban North America: corporate communications, followed by brand marketing, with full ownership of the company's social channels alongside newsroom writing, video production and campaign development.
Director of Marketing and Brand at the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, managing brand, advocacy and member communications for an organization that operates as both a nonprofit and a business advocacy group. The role spans legislative one-pagers and press releases along with the Chamber's website, email programs and full social media presence.
