I have a strong background in developing internal and external communication materials. Often, my role involves translating complex information into accessible messages that emphasize economic impact and sustainability. This ability to distill complex data into clear, compelling narratives is a critical component of my work.

My ability to write, communicate, and be creative is driven by my right-brain thinking, which allows me to approach problems with creativity and innovation.
