Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Bucknell University

I study public understanding of science and communication for environmental issues and climate change. I have expertise in environmental and science communication, environmental policy, sustainability, climate mitigation and adaptation, and environmental justice. I have publications in top-tier journals and am particularly adept at public speaking and engagement.

I am a three-time Chief Marketing Officer who has served as a c-suite partner to CEOs and board members. I transform complex growth models into strategic wins: digital pivots at Gannett, omnichannel mastery at HomeServe. My playbook? Data-driven decisions paired with people-first leadership. I excel at leading transformation and bold moves that reshape industries by cultivating inclusive, trusting, performance-driven cultures. Seeking my next opportunity to channel innovation and integrity into tangible impact.
