Hi there! I’m Michaela, and I’m a communications and marketing professional with 10 years of experience in the field (and counting). I’m passionate and skilled at rendering complex ideas in accessible language and translating organizations’ values, vision, and mission into compelling communications that attract, engage, and inform audiences across all communications platforms.
I have extensive experience writing and editing for various channels, including press releases, digital newsletters, video/radio scripts, website content, and social media. I’ve been on-camera and behind the scenes, planned successful public events, developed and maintained relationships with media, local and regional stakeholders, and created and managed marketing campaigns across multiple communication channels. I also have a strong understanding of branding and graphic design, which allow me to develop compelling visuals and maintain consistency in marketing materials.
I have a proven track record of effectively leading professional teams in fast-paced environments. Through my strong interpersonal and communication skills, I foster a collaborative work environment that promotes creativity and innovation. I am adept at identifying and leveraging individual strengths to drive team success.
I am intensely curious and love learning – the majority of the skills that I have utilized in my professional career have been self-taught, and I never shy away from exploring something new. I spend my free time devouring books (both fiction and non), snowboarding, learning aerial silks, and exploring the amazing natural beauty of the Southwest. My goal in life is to experience humanity to its fullest extent, whether through travel, writing, photography, media, or unexpected encounters with kindred strangers. I look forward to meeting you!
