As a Communications professional with a Law degree,
I admit that it’s sometimes hard for my clients to figure me out. The #1 question I’m asked is “Why did you leave the law profession?” My answer is always “Oh, but I didn’t!”
A good legal professional must master many creative forms of communication. Just like a communications/marketing professional, one must develop thorough research skills, creative problem solving, and a deliverable that makes sense to the client—regardless of whether they’re an expert in the field or the average person.
That’s exactly what I do. I just use my creative mind in a very analytical space to deliver practical results.
From developing communications initiatives and marketing collateral for law firms and other corporate spaces, to drafting articles on policy changes for nonprofits, it is my job to turn dense, industry-specific jargon into reader-friendly content.
With the capacity to effectively influence public perceptions—along with my proven history of developing trusting and lasting key relationships—I am prepared to substantially impact the success of your business.
