A senior, hands-on approach

At Stage 1 Public Relations, clients work directly with me, not layers of account teams or junior handoffs. This structure allows for continuity, deeper understanding of the business and guidance shaped by context rather than templates.

Engagements often begin with focused project work and, when helpful, evolve into longer-term advisory or retainer relationships. The emphasis is always on thoughtful strategy, earned trust and responsible communication.

Industry focus

My experience spans organization operating in regulated and mission-driven environments, including:

Healthcare and healthcare technology
Pharmaceuticals and biotech
Life sciences
Nonprofit and mission-driven organizations

This breadth informs a practical, measured approach to media relations, crisis preparedness and reputation management across U.S., Canadian and European markets.

I've spent my career helping organizations communicate clearly in moments where credibility, trust and judgment matter. As founder and principal of Stage 1 Public Relations, I work directly with healthcare, biotech, life sciences and mission-driven - industries where messaging is scrutinized, stakes are high, and missteps are costly.

Public relations, at its best, is not about volume or visibility for its own sake. It's about preparation, clarity and understanding how media, stakeholders and the public interpret information under pressure..
