About

Professional summary

I am a strategic communications and content leader who partners with CEOs and senior teams to translate complex ideas, products, and business priorities into compelling narratives that inspire audiences to think, feel, and act.

My experience spans senior communications roles at Google, RBC, Aphria/Tilray, market research, professional education, and advisory engagements. I have built corporate narratives, executive communications programs, thought-leadership platforms, B2B sales messaging, and content strategies for global enterprises, public companies, and growing businesses.

I specialize in messaging, brand and product storytelling, executive positioning, speechwriting, ghostwriting, keynote development, and social media. I also create case studies, success stories, podcasts, and other editorial content that turns expert knowledge into engaging, audience-focused communications.

I bring a performance-minded approach to digital communications, including SEO, email marketing, audience journeys, analytics, attribution, and conversion optimization. My work includes rebuilding email and webinar programs, improving e-commerce conversion, and developing website content and information architecture.

I am experienced in high-stakes communications, including public-company communications, investor-relations support, launch communications, media relations, and crisis response. I work effectively across executive, legal, marketing, product, and investor-relations teams.

I also use AI editorial workflows, including custom GPT development, research and synthesis, quality control, and content consistency processes, to improve the speed and quality of communications work.

I produced 44 professional-education podcast episodes and hosted 22 episodes for CPAs and finance professionals. I owned the editorial process from topic selection, research, and guest sourcing through interview preparation, scripting, recording, editing, and trailer creation.

I secured and interviewed senior executives, economists, and subject-matter experts, turning complex content into insight-rich conversations aligned with learning objectives. I also designed NASBA-aligned assessments and supporting materials for accredited CPE.

I built and shared custom GPT workflows for ideation, guest sourcing, research, mock interviews, outlining, and assessment development to improve research depth, editorial consistency, quality control, and production speed.

I raised IMI's profile and built executive visibility for the SVP through corporate messaging, thought leadership, and event communications. I ghostwrote LinkedIn content, secured podcast and networking-event appearances, and prepared the executive for external engagements.

I rebuilt a legacy HubSpot account into a segmented B2B email and webinar program with analytics and attribution. The program reached a 32% open rate across more than 750 contacts and enabled tracking of audience engagement, retention, and downloads through the webinar journey.

I also developed the content strategy, copy, and information architecture for a new corporate website following an audit of the existing site and content-download platform.
