Biography
I’m a communications leader with over 20 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, and digital strategy, having worked with organizations like KPMG, Capgemini, and currently Munich Re, where I focus on global cybersecurity and risk communications.
Alongside my industry work, I’ve been teaching at Montclair State University (PR Investigation and Strategy) and previously Kean University (marketing and media), developing courses that emphasize applied, research-driven learning and the integration of AI into communications and public relations strategy.
My approach is grounded in applied, research-driven learning, and I’ve developed curricula that integrate real-world campaigns, strategic frameworks, and emerging tools like AI to reflect current industry practice.
