About 

Over the last 20+ years, I have helped public, private and government entities. As a consultant, I’ve worked with clients to find and promote their strategic differentiators, simplify complex business concepts and meet the expectations of their audiences. 

 

I’ve developed communications and marketing plans, thought leadership campaigns, marketing collateral and internal communications vehicles. The foundation is often story – bringing to life corporate stories, or discovering and promoting internal stories that reflect the best a company has to offer.

Background

 

I began my career at the Canadian Consulate General in New York City. As an Economic and Financial Affairs Officer, I helped manage Canada’s relations with Wall Street. This work kicked off a love for communications and business writing. I moved into investor relations, where I served US and international public companies or those seeking to become public for The MWW Group, and then for The IGB Group.   I was asked to join Tatum, a consulting firm as Director of Communications, which soon included marketing. At Tatum, I led marketing and internal communications. I also helped lead a complete repositioning and rebranding of the company. Before that, I was a business writer and communications manager for Resources Global Professionals.  I hold a BA in Political Science from Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada) and a MA in International Affairs from what was called the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University. I am a member of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

About Signal Hill 

​

Signal Hill Communications takes its name from a place prominent in global communications history. Signal Hill, in Newfoundland, Canada, was the reception site of the very first transatlantic wireless communication. The transmission, in Morse code, was received by Guglielmo Marconi at Signal Hill in December 1901.  It originated from the Poldhu Wireless Station in Cornwall, United Kingdom.

 

Signal Hill is also close in proximity to where Laura grew up on the island.
