MEET YOUR NEW SPOKESWOMAN
I’m a dynamic corporate professional with 15+ years experience representing, speaking on behalf of, and partnering with Fortune 500, mid-size, and start-up companies in the high tech, healthcare, printing and graphics, and consumer products industries. I believe that strong communication skills, excellent writing and presentation abilities, and developing long-term client relationships are just the beginning of what an ideal spokesperson offers. Based on my vast experience in live corporate events, I’m excited to tell your company’s story with credibility and wit. Let me help you connect with your customers so you can meet your training and marketing goals with style.
Additionally, I’m conversant in French, having achieved a B1 certification through the DELF tout public program (Diplôme d’études en langue française) for non-native speakers. I have deep knowledge of the classic American songbook. I fancy myself a true diplomat who shamelessly does the New York Times crossword puzzle in pen, and advocates for the use of the Oxford comma.
