Marketing specialist and educator with a strong background in healthcare communications, digital marketing, public affairs, and nearly ten years of news media experience. Currently serving at Samaritan Medical Center, I support internal and external communications through strategic messaging, creative writing, media relations, brand stewardship, and incident command communications. I also teach Social Media, Advertising, and Promotion at Jefferson Community College, focusing on modern marketing tools and digital strategy. My experience is further complemented by more than a decade of volunteer public affairs outreach with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, where I led media communications, community safety campaigns, and large-scale public engagement initiatives.
