Working for both for-profits and non-profits, I balance creativity and practicality, developing effective multi-media/communications campaigns that can be executed efficiently and expeditiously, even on shoestring budgets when necessary. Having worked on both sides of the desk – as journalist and as media/communications specialist – I listen to both sides, then conceive of and implement strategies that address the needs of both.
