Entering into event management, I fine-tuned my event skills through several more years managing registration, exhibit halls, event catering, speaker management, and venue logistics.

Healthcare is mission driven. So am I. I’m on a mission to contribute to a better medical web. I do this by helping healthcare marcom teams create more content that will reach more people. I combine a journalism background with deep experience in communications, digital marketing and SEO. My focus is always on finding the story that will best benefit the end user: patients. I break down complicated medical information into healthcare content that people actually read. I help you get your thought leadership out to a larger audience on blogs, emails and social media. HERE'S MY APPROACH: What if we call marketing connecting? What if we shift from struggling to keep up to purposefully serving? What if we lift others up and are lifted by them? ‍ Because that’s what good marketing really is. It’s what connects us to those who need us. ‍ You know what else connects? A bridge. ‍ The Golden Gate Bridge is continuously painted. Otherwise it would erode from the salt and elements. ‍ Your marketing is like this bridge. It’s a daily practice you constantly maintain, and if you do it well, you'll reach your patients. Together we can build a culture of connection through marketing.
