There’s nothing better than having a job that allows you to tell stories that make a difference. As an editor, writer, content strategist and digital marketing expert who got my start as a national journalist, I am privileged to have done this at several FORTUNE 500 companies.

​​​​

Like telling stories as editor of the Visa Blog about Black-owned businesses that build wealth for underserved groups. Or helping Walmart associates in 5,000 stores take advantage of continuing education programs and development opportunities. Or leading a content design team at Intuit that helped millions of QuickBooks customers close their books on the tax year. Or promoting new services on the Nokia Conversations Blog that could help up-level the quality of life for millions.

As an experienced communications and marketing leader and change agent, I have built internal communications functions from scratch, launched new digital platforms for companies, hosted webcasts attended by thousands, scripted speeches for C-suite executives and executed multi-channel social strategies that generated results for audiences. Like enticing hundreds of startups to sign up for  shark-tank-style competitions, publishing original company research helping governments leverage digital payments for their citizens or explaining the mission and purpose of the world’s largest payments company in a simple “person-in-the-street” video.
