I have a broad experience in the public involvement, public outreach, facilitation, agency coordination, technical writing, and media and public relations. I create and implement communication strategies for complex technical studies, construction projects, and community planning efforts. I have completed the public involvement process at all levels of environmental documentation and I am well-versed in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). I have experience with a variety of communication tools and methods including meeting and focus group facilitation, document preparation - writing, editing, layout, and graphic design, website development, social media, advertising, and media relations. Specialties I specialize in engaging stakeholders. I have worked with a wide-range of public, jurisdictional, and governmental stakeholders, and I am familiar with the public involvement process in both rural and urban communities. I enjoy listening to stakeholders’ concerns, discovering and conveying the positive and negative effects associated with a proposed project, and resolving difficult issues.
