I’m a Senior Internal & Change Communications Leader specializing in driving enterprise transformations, organizational engagement, and measurable outcomes. With expertise in OCM, multi-channel strategies, and strategic stakeholder management, I excel at aligning leadership and teams to drive clarity, collaboration, and lasting change. With extensive experience in communications across wide-range of industries, I developed my foundation in brand consistency, market-facing campaigns, and employee engagement. I led impactful initiatives for a $4B Global Recovery Sciences division and learned the power of storytelling and strategic communication to build trust and drive adoption. I’ve consistently achieved results that drive meaningful change: Expanded revenue opportunities and enhanced adoption across Fortune 500 companies by developing tailored OCM frameworks and multi-site implementation strategies. Improved employee experiences through innovative communication approaches, such as centralized resource hubs, change agent networks, and leadership enablement tools. Strengthened client relationships, executing strategic campaigns that consistently exceeded engagement metrics and business objectives. Equipped cross-functional teams with tools to navigate change effectively, improve collaboration, and drive organizational alignment during enterprise-wide transformations. In order to grow further, I’ve earned certifications in Change Management and Digital Marketing, providing me with a blend of analytical and creative skills to address evolving business needs. I also dedicated time to consulting to help businesses optimize their branding, content, and digital strategies during critical growth periods. Currently, at Pivot Strategies, I lead change communications and training strategies for clients navigating technology implementations, culture shifts, and large-scale organizational changes. I thrive on crafting strategies that motivate teams, reduce complexity, and increase alignment with broader vision and goals.
