With a passion for branding, ability to motivate others, and always striving to be forward thinking in my management of processes and productivity, it was a tremendous honor to be selected to build out this new branch of our Communications team. As a senior manager, the role evolved to help build a clear understanding of our institutional and departmental vision, unify team members with minimal supervision, and build networks of collaboration—all while carefully balancing the interests of all parties and maintaining high standards of quality, timeliness, stakeholder satisfaction, and brand alignment.

This position merges creative services with operations to bring and build consistent workflows for a high-performing team.

We want to ensure that we do good not only for our customers but also for our community.
