Summary

Versatile communicator who thrives under pressure to deliver quality, well-written and tactical messages. Successfully transitioned from the intense, deadline-driven television newsroom to the more deliberate, strategic environment of a large corporation. I’m a thoughtful communications leader, not afraid to challenge the norm, who aptly handles multiple projects while bringing a disarming sense of humor to whatever role I tackle.

I’m currently enjoying a second act in my career, spending the past 4+ years leading two distinct internal communications efforts for JPMorgan Chase & Co. My latest role involves supporting five executives in executing their priorities for their location. In addition to creating strategic messages, I also manage website content, digital signage and collaborate on new ways to engage 40,000 colleagues. I value employee engagement and prove that by volunteering as the Communications Lead for our Access Ability Business Resource Group, which supports our colleagues with disabilities, caregivers and encourage other employees to be allies. Previously, I launched a change communication process for Chase’s Operations function. This involved collaborating with subject matter experts to deliver digestible information to a changing audience.

I spent the first 18 years of my career excelling in television news. I grew into an award-winning executive producer, directing a staff of anchors, reporters, producers, writers and other newsroom staff.
