Experience

With 20+ years of experience in social impact marketing and strategic communications on my résumé, I love taking on consulting projects as my schedule allows. 

I've worked for Fortune 500 companies, statewide public policy organizations and itsy-bitsy nonprofits. If your project is at the intersection of communication and the common good, I'm all ears. 

I teach public relations classes at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa School of Communication and Information, and I also currently serve as the director of communications and engagement with Hawai‘i’s Office of Wellness and Resilience (the 1st of its kind in the nation).

 
 

education

 

I earned two degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the country's storied "public Ivies": a Master of Arts in mass communication with a focus on social marketing and health communication, and a Bachelor of Arts with distinction in journalism and public relations.

The UNC-Chapel Hill School of Media and Journalism is one of the top journalism programs in the world.
