I am a corporate communications specialist with experience leading and implementing communication marketing plans to achieve organizational goals and objectives.

I enjoy taking complex and technical information and developing messaging that resonates with any audience. I believe clear, simple language is the most effective way to communicate.

I have managed brands and created brand awareness, built audiences on social media platforms, and developed communication strategies for B2B and B2C customers.

My specialities include copywriting, copyediting, internal and external communications, project development and implementation, and strategic planning.

Related skills and proficiencies:
• Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote)
• Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Media monitoring tools (CisionPR, MRP)
• Social media monitoring tools (Hootsuite, Sprout Social)
• Internal and external CMS (SharePoint, Sitefinity, Umbraco)
• Canadian Press (CP) style
• Writing for print, media and web

As a former baker/pastry chef, my original passion lies in the food industry, especially the gluten free product market. I enjoy travelling, reading, photography, crosswords, cooking and baking. I've lived in Calgary, Las Vegas, Toronto, and currently reside in British Columbia.
