Current Titles:  Sr. Branding & Communications Manager

Career: 

I enjoy partnering with employees, executives, leadership, and communities across the Barton Malow Family of Companies to tell the stories of our People, Projects, and Communities.

The favorite part of my job is learning how our teams creatively solve challenges each day. It is a privilege to tell their stories through various communication platforms that engage employees across our network of offices and job sites across North America.

I’m fortunate to work with a team of talented, funny, and empathetic humans to manage visual and written communications strategy, content, and execution. I’m proud of the inclusive platforms that we’ve developed to give all employees the chance to share expertise, success stories, and lessons learned.
