Expertise includes retail/e-tail, technology hardware/software, publishing/web content, and financial services.

   
 

I am as comfortable working with consumer brands (B2C) as I am working with companies who sell their services to other businesses (B2B). Clients include The Boston Consulting Group, Shop.org, Finali Corporation, SmartMoney.com, WURLD Media, Martian Entertainment and The NPD Group.

Prior to beginning my own freelance practice, I was account director for the New York-based Interactive practice of Cone, Llc. While at Cone I implemented highly successful public relations campaigns for such companies as SmartMoney.com, Shop.org, Office.com and BMG Direct.

My strategic and tactical expertise resulted in extensive media coverage for my clients in a variety of leading business, trade and consumer media outlets, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Industry Standard, InteractiveWeek, Advertising Age, Fortune, Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times, U.S. News & World Report, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, PBS Radio and many more.

Before joining Cone, I began my PR career at David Kratz & Company
(now Magnet Communications) in New York. While at Kratz my responsibilities included managing, overseeing and implementing business/trade and consumer public-relations for clients like CondeNet (Epicurious, Concierge, etc.), KBKids.com, CareerPath.com and The Industry Standard magazine.

Prior to diving into PR, I worked on the advertising side of the "image" house
for such companies as Saatchi & Saatchi, Anderson & Lembke, Shell/Mullaney. Former clients include SAP, Computer Associates and IBM Corporation.

I grew up in Iowa and graduated from Cornell University with a BA in English. I have lived and worked in New York City for more than 15 years.
