Position: Communications & Marketing Coordinator

Responsibilities: I excel at simplifying complex ideas, often acting as a self-proclaimed "English-to-English translator" to make technical or intricate concepts clear and relatable. At Assedo, I design, implement, and fine-tune communication strategies across various sectors, including environmental projects, transportation, infrastructure, utilities, urban planning, and park development. Additionally, I leverage my skills in web and graphic design to elevate the effectiveness of each project.

Why Assedo? I was drawn to Assedo because of its dynamic and diverse team, composed of talented professionals with a wide range of perspectives, skills, and experiences. This inclusive and collaborative environment inspires innovation and helps us create impactful solutions that genuinely benefit the communities we serve.

Background: With over 20 years of experience in marketing communications, I have worked alongside public and private organizations as a trusted advisor and consultant. Throughout my career, I have developed strategic solutions tailored to the needs of diverse clients. I earned a BA in International Affairs from the University of Mary Washington and was honored to receive a prestigious merit-based MBA scholarship from East Carolina University.

Favorite Quote: ”It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”-Theodore Roosevelt
