With nearly 20 years of experience leading and partnering with strategic communications and PR departments, I have dedicated myself to the craft of storytelling while building and protecting the reputations of some of the world's most recognizable brands. I have expertise in strategic media relations, corporate and investor communications, employer branding, crisis communications, and executive communications. Today, I lead JW/PR and provide strategic communications expertise to mom-and-pop shops, start-ups, non-profits, small- and medium-sized businesses, and highly matrix-ed corporations. I have expertise in the hospitality, travel, retail, technology, medical, health and wellness, and financial services industries, providing companies with impactful PR support. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations from TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, and a Master's degree in Public Relations & Corporate Communications from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
