Where Vision Meets Execution
My unique journey through design, communication leadership, and purpose-driven work has prepared me to understand the complex needs as Chief of Staff. At the intersection of creative problem-solving and strategic leadership, I bring a distinctive perspective that bridges vision and implementation strategies to help the executive leadership carry out the organization’s mission.
The Strategic Liaison
My foundation in design taught me that environments shape experiences and outcomes based on audience needs, and my experiences in strategic communication planning has led me to council organizational leaders. Both experiences apply equally to organizational dynamics. As Chief of Staff, I serve as the critical connector between executive vision and operational reality, ensuring alignment across departments while maintaining focus on strategic priorities.
Having led multimillion-dollar projects in government settings and managed my family's commercial printing business for fifteen years, I understand the critical importance of strategic planning and practical execution. This dual perspective allows me to anticipate challenges, streamline decision-making processes, and maintain momentum on crucial initiatives.
A Multifaceted Skill Set
My experiences and diverse background offer a comprehensive toolkit for the Chief of Staff role. For example:
My project management experience enables me to coordinate complex, cross-functional initiatives while maintaining strict timelines and budgets. My communication expertise, formalized through my Master's in Professional Communication, allows me to translate executive vision into clear directives and maintain transparent stakeholder relationships.
My data analysis capabilities support evidence-based decision-making, while my research skills provide leadership with the insights needed for strategic planning. When public representation matters, my experience in public speaking and event management ensures that the organization's message is impactful and delivered professionally.
Beyond Technical Skills
What truly distinguishes my approach is my commitment to purpose-driven leadership. Whether preserving my family's business legacy or supporting parish leadership development within the Catholic Church, I have consistently sought to create impact beyond traditional success metrics.
As Chief of Staff, I become a trusted advisor to leadership, offering candid feedback, facilitating difficult conversations, leadership training, and ensuring the CEO can focus on strategic priorities with confidence that operational details are handled with precision and care.
My career path, weaving through design studios, boardrooms, print shops, and spiritual settings, has uniquely prepared me to be the crucial link between vision and implementation, research and analysis, strategy and tactics, leadership and teams.
In this role, I do not simply manage projects or coordinate schedules; I create the conditions for organizational excellence by ensuring every initiative aligns with our greater purpose and strategic vision.
