The Process
Complex communications challenges require a thoughtful process that balances efficiency, flexibility, and depth. My approach is designed to focus on what matters most, while respecting your time and delivering results that last.
1. Right Fit Conversation
We’ll start with a conversation about your goals, challenges, and context to see whether we’re the right match for the work ahead. We’ll get clear on what you need, and whether I’m the right person to help.
2. Immersion + Insight
Drawing on that discussion, I’ll immerse myself in understanding your organization and context. From there, I’ll develop a short briefing document that defines the opportunity, clarifies scope and priorities, and provides the foundation for our partnership.
3. Co-Creation
Together, we’ll build out the strategy and translate it into a clear plan grounded in your business needs and resources. The work will be actionable, practical, and designed to deliver meaningful outcomes.
4. Activation
With the strategy and plan in place, we’ll move into implementation — developing materials, launching initiatives, and adapting as we learn. I’ll keep you informed, while making sure the project stays efficient and responsive to new developments.
5. Ongoing Evaluation
We’ll measure progress throughout. Using feedback, data, and interim results, we’ll adjust the plan as needed, so it continues to advance your goals and demonstrate impact.
Achieving Results
Case Study 1:
Activating the Power of Data and AI for Good
Splunk was transforming its social impact programs to better align with its mission as a data company. I developed comprehensive communications strategies for volunteering, giving, and recognition programs, creating content that connected social impact to company mission and culture. Based on gains in employee participation and opinion scores, my scope expanded to becoming lead writer of the company’s sustainability and climate reports. When Splunk was later acquired, I was retained to create a strategic series of articles about the use of data/AI for social good – work that preserved Splunk’s legacy while supporting its integration into Cisco.
Case Study 2:
Upleveling an Annual Sustainability Report
A well-respected specialty food and beverage company approached me to serve as lead writer and managing editor of its impact report. I helped transform the publication into a data-driven, rigorous report that anticipated the requirements of external corporate responsinility frameworks while keeping it grounded in the company’s deeply held values and the vivid stories of its people, producers, and partners around the world. This included developing a voice that was authentic, knowledgeable, and approachable. In the project sponsor’s words, “This was the report we’ve awaited for five years.” My partnership with the client is now in its third year.
Case Study 3: Awakening Action: McKesson Foundation's Partnership with the Gift of Life Marrow Registry
With an audience of 70,000 employees, the McKesson Foundation knew it was in a unique position to help grow the marrow donor registry — and the more matches, the more lives that could be saved. As communications lead, I developed a multifaceted activation campaign. Compelling storytelling was key. But inspiring behavior change requires more than clear messaging: it requires building trust, understanding what motivates people, and making pathways to meaningful action. The campaign accomplished this by creating a network of volunteer champions, joining in health fairs, and partnering with employee resource groups. Still active, the campaign has led to 380 matches and 43 life-saving marrow transplants as of late 2025.
