I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love. Developing communications to positively influence perceptions is an art and skill I’m excited to share.
My career began in Houston in the late 90s supporting energy and utility clients in a boutique communications firm. Some time later, I made a foray into the tech world with Weber Shandwick.
The bulk of my career – more than 16 years – was spent working with wonderful people and clients at Fleishman Hillard where I had the opportunity to, among other things:
- Write annual reports, executive speeches, thought leadership and media materials for Fortune 500 companies.
- Help several of the world’s largest energy companies engage with elected officials and local communities to explain and expand their work.
- Support energy companies and industry consortiums through high-profile crises and challenges.
- Develop messaging, training and corps of employee ambassadors to support and/or defend clients in local communities.
