Director of Communications

Digital & Media

I am a driven individual that takes a creative vantage point to the way I practice marketing, communications, and public relations. In the past I have integrated digital, mobile, and web technologies to execute engaging external and corporate campaigns. My traditional communications and public relations experience has benefitted from embracing the digital. I can use Adobe’s InDesign to create marketing collateral. I also spearheaded Mooney International’s use of Digital Publishing Suite, an InDesign extension, for Mooney to create and publish its own apps without a Software Engineer. 

I have managed Mooney’s public relations efforts across all media, dealing primarily with general aviation news. I was strategic in working with the editor and writer for the AOPA Pilot Magazine’s May 2015 cover story. My ability to build strong relationships with these media contacts in a short span of time helped Mooney secure this coveted spot. My ability to write and speak Spanish has also spread Mooney’s capacity to communicate with audiences across Latin America. I have had articles published in aviation magazines in that region.

Given the role and responsibilities of the position available, I am confident about my skills and the positive experience working at Monster can provide.
