Summary
<< Communication Creates Change >> Focusing on ‘communication as change’, I excel in integrating innovation and strategy, producing projects and tools that work. Imagination, strategic thinking, and relationship-building capacities contribute to my successful leadership & project management within diverse industry domains. Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong skills in managing communications programs within a variety of industries and roles, producing the following well-received projects and campaigns: • Canadian Coast Guard << Project Management: Web-Based Safe Boating Contest, Prize Sponsorship, Print Collateral >> • Natural Resources Canada’s Office of Energy Efficiency << National Media Strategy & Media Relations: First National Conference on Energy Efficiency >> • Manitoba Pork Council << Print & Radio Ad Campaign: *Pork is Doing Good Things For Manitoba* >> • Fidel Fuentes, NDP Candidate Rosemont, Federal Election 1997 << Campaign Management: Political Communications, Strategy, Media Relations, Events Planning, Volunteer Coordination >> • Ubisoft << Media Relations, International Press Tour, Sales & Marketing Tools >> • Bell Canada << Name Brand Creation/Branding: *FirstRate* >> • University of Manitoba, Continuing Education << Communications Audit >> • Suzy Shier << Editor & Copywriter for National In-Store Magazine: *Scoop* >> Although I managed various communication campaigns throughout the years, my affinity for relationship-building with relevant stakeholders is even more important. I strive to ensure the quality of internal and external stakeholder relationships is positively maintained and nurtured – whether in managing clients’ expectations, alongside interacting with fellow colleagues and management. Further, my media experience has been diverse and I have a great comfort level in these professional relationships as well.
