It’s a personal passion of mine to demonstrate what great writing and editing can achieve.
I currently serve as a Corporate Communications Manager at Anthem, Inc. (Elevance Health), a Fortune 50 company. During my first year at the company, I project managed the rebrand of the total rewards program from Life@Anthem to Rewards & More during our company rebrand. I cross-collaborated with consultants, brand & advertising teams, HR, talent, legal, culture, and more. I led the communications plan and spear-headed the project efforts from initial brainstorming to launch, which saw a 213% increase in our program usage. I also support communications for the President of the Commercial & Specialty Business Division, including town halls, M&A communications, presentations, talking points and more.
My previous roles involved supporting the communications strategy for executive leaders at HCSC (Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL, TX, MT, NM, OK). I built communications plans, assisted with the development and communications roll-out of the company business plan, and planned executive team meetings and town halls. I supported COVID-19 communications and webinars, and wrote content such as emails, newsletter stories, powerpoints, intranet copy, leadership announcements, change management materials, HR materials, screensavers, web and more.
Because I can’t not write (double negative, anyone?), I write fiction in my free time and edit fiction and non-fiction manuscripts, agent submission packages (including query, synopsis, pitch and first ten pages), as well as professional resumes and cover letters. I’m also a content creator on booktok and bookstagram with an above-average engagement rate for someone of my reach.
My passions include content creating, reading, writing, jigsaw puzzles, cats, coffee, video games, and mental health advocacy.
I am a graduate of the University of Tampa where I received a Bachelor of Arts in English and writing. I graduated magna cum laude with Honors Program distinction in the top 10% of my class. I also received a graduate-level Publishing Certificate from the University of Denver Publishing Institute.
