My career journey technically started when I was five. From journalism to internal comms to brand marketing, I've spent my career finding the right words, the right channels, and the right moments to connect people with what matters.

At Lumen Technologies (and before that, CenturyLink), I've done it all: employee newsletters, video scripts, crisis communications, intranet launches, and full campaign strategy. I measure success in open rates, sentiment shifts, and whether people actually read past the subject line.
