My work has consistently involved creating, contributing to, and devising new communication strategies for delivering key messages to core audiences, ranging from prospective students, to potential customers, to established users of a product or service. A sampling of these projects appears below.
Pennsylvania Impacts
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, financial support for Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Penn State Cooperative Extension was diminishing.

Today the company has dozens of customer stories, many written and all edited by me. All […]
