About

I am highly experienced in strategic planning and execution of communication initiatives that inspire, inform, teach and intrigue. I love to write and I get my energy from creating articles that tell a good story. I can transform ideas into user-friendly texts, targeted to specific audiences and appropriate for various channels. I am orderly; process oriented and can administrate communication projects from start to finish. I have the ability to network and connect with people and I am no stranger to working with colleagues from all levels of a company and across cultures.
