Outside of traditional media, analyst and investor relations, I've launched startups, developed branding and messaging and positioning across multiple verticals, including green tech, consumer tech, healthcare, HR and entertainment, and managed events of all shapes and sizes. I jump-started my career as the primary communications manager for SXSW Interactive in Austin. After three years with the SXSW team, I switched gears and joined Porter Novelli, where I worked on launching, growing and managing startups to household names. Most recently, I worked with Jones-Dilworth, Inc. as an extension of their executive team, as well as managing PR clients such as 500px, Bottlenose and working on The Daily Dot.
