My professional experience is based on the principle that communication can be used to improve all walks of life. This spans from my earliest work with the American Red Cross and the Office of Tourism in Spain; to my healthcare communications work advocating for those with mental illnesses; and to my current work demonstrating technology's impact on society. Throughout these experiences, I've used traditional and new communications tools to reach the audiences that matter most. My goal moving forward is to harness the explosion of both mass- and micro- communications tools to address real challenges and opportunities in our daily lives.
