I started at APCO in an entry-level position in our Raleigh office, coming in as the seventh employee. Our firm required you to work across sectors, practices, and gain expertise across all client-facing capabilities.

Throughout my first four years at APCO I worked across corporate communications, public affairs, digital and social media, crisis and litigation communications, and media relations.

My portfolio remained sector-agnostic throughout my career, but included large infrastructure projects, a higher education coalition, real estate developments, transportation, energy, tech, and large nonprofits.
