I’m a writer, educator, consultant and proud Chicagoan with nearly 15 years of experience across PR, marketing, writing, and communications strategy.
Mostly recently, I managed communications for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, a global architecture firm founded in Chicago in 1936. Before that, I led communications for World Business Chicago, the City of Chicago’s public-private economic development partner.
By night I teach strategic communications at Northeastern Illinois University on the city’s northwest side.
In between, I write, read, watch, travel, collaborate, brainstorm, experiment, and explore.
