Founder 

March Communications

I ran the marketing, communications and new business functions for award-winning PR agency March Communications. With offices in Boston and Chicago, March is an integrated tech PR firm that works with innovative brands determined to change their respective industries for the better.

Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications

Matter Communications

At Matter, I was charged with telling the company's unique PR and social media story via traditional marketing and public relations channels, as well as via an array of social media platforms. I'm also a driving force in attracting new business via content marketing, and working closely with all teams and agency principals throughout the pitching process at this rapidly growing PR firm north of Boston, with offices in Providence, RI, Portland, OR, and Boulder CO.

I wholly subscribe to Matter's philosophy: "Do the right thing." That means ensuring client delight, stoking staff engagement and doing good works in the local community. This mantra has resulted in the company growing year-over-year for the past several years. Cool.

Vice President of Marketing & Communications

SHIFT Communications

I led the Agency's coast-to-coast marketing & public relations efforts to stimulate brand awareness, leverage client successes, and gain significant market share nationally.

I was also a creative force in attracting and winning new business across a broad cross section of consumer and technology accounts. My high-level public relations and social media ideas compelled prospects to choose SHIFT.

Client experience: AOL, Sony Online entertainment, Logitech, Club Med, Bing, Virgin Mobile, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, H&R Block, Akamai, Nuance, Yelp, Novell, WebTrends, Wells Fargo, Oakley Sunglasses, Quiznos, etc.

I've done it all: journalism, PR, community manager, marketing and sales. Fluent in all things social media.

Today I was in line for a coffee at Starbucks and noticed a young woman looking at the ceiling, lost in thought, and then she’d type a sentence or two into a Word doc. 

I could see her screen clearly. 💻

She kept doing it—getting lost in thought, typing a few words, tapping a pencil with a far off look in her eyes, typing a few more words, the whole time I was in line. 

She wasn’t using ChatGPT. 

She wasn’t using Perplexity or Claude or any generative AI tools whatsoever. 

She was just sitting there, thinking and writing. 

Like a total psycho.

This is the way ✊

When I see people posting about em dashes being a sure-fire sign a post was written by AI?

It immediately tells me you’re a lazy, low-information bore. 

Congrats, detective. 

You’ve discovered a punctuation mark actual writers have used since the 1830s 🙄

*leaps head-first into wood chipper*

This is the way ✊
