My approach to communication and marketing

My approach is to ask “why” before “how,” and by doing so I have a proven ability to build plans and implement strategies that have resulted in strong customer engagement for hospitals, clinical service lines and medical groups. Directing teams of up to 25 multi-level professionals, I also enjoy mentoring and managing employees to deliver an efficient and effective use of resources.
