WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
I’m currently consulting and holding fractional roles with agencies and companies, and doing freelance editorial writing projects within the healthcare communications space, such as op-eds and thought leadership bylines. I also spend substantial time working with AI integrations into PR strategy, and have built strategy frameworks for Earned AI Search and Generative Engine Optimization.
I’ve enjoyed being close to many aspects of the industry, but my goal is to be part of something long-term, at a larger scale, contributing to reputation and revenue growth, as well as communications innovation.
I’m open to in-house positions (Director / Senior Director), or agency roles (Senior Vice President / Executive Vice President / Managing Director). I’m in NYC, open to remote or hybrid roles, and will consider relocation to select cities. In the interim, I have some bandwidth for new freelance projects.
