Vision, Empathy, and Creativity at the Core
My methodology is built on three pillars that ensure communication is not just heard, but felt and acted upon.
Strategic Vision: We start with your business objectives. Every narrative, campaign, and talking point is designed to support a tangible goal, whether it’s growth, trust-building, or change management.
Deep Empathy: I listen to understand the perspectives of your stakeholders from the C-suite to the frontline employee, from the skeptical investor to the end consumer. This human-centered approach is what makes stories stick.
Creative Adaptability: The media landscape and your business are constantly changing. I bring an intuitive and adaptable mindset, drawing on a diverse toolkit to craft the right solution for the moment, whether it’s a global rollout or a local crisis.

Questions & Answers
Q1: What does "CPA" stand for in your practice?
A: In my practice, CPA stands for “Communications Partner & Advisor.” It reflects my role as a strategic partner who provides senior-level counsel and hands-on support, not accounting services. This boutique model allows me to offer focused, high-impact guidance directly to business leaders.
Q2: How do you tailor your services for businesses based in Ontario?
My approach is grounded in an understanding of Ontario’s unique economic and cultural landscape. This includes:
Knowledge of key provincial and municipal government structures and priorities.
Experience with Ontario’s diverse industrial base, from advanced manufacturing in the Golden Horseshoe to the tech sector in Kitchener-Waterloo and Ottawa.
An understanding of the multicultural fabric of the Ontario market, ensuring messages are culturally resonant and inclusive.
Q3: What is your typical engagement model?
A: I believe in flexible partnerships to meet your specific needs. Engagements can be structured as:
Project-Based: For a specific initiative like a crisis plan, executive speech, or campaign launch.
Retainer: For ongoing, strategic support and counsel, acting as a part-time senior communications lead.
Senior Interim Role: To fill a gap in your leadership team for a defined period (e.g., parental leave, sudden departure).
One-Time Strategy Session: A focused workshop to tackle a specific challenge and create a actionable roadmap.
Q4: My company is in a highly regulated industry (e.g., pharma, finance). Do you have relevant experience?
A: Absolutely. A significant portion of my career has been in highly regulated sectors, including pharmaceuticals and packaging. I am adept at navigating the delicate balance between compelling storytelling and strict regulatory compliance. I ensure all communication is not only effective but also fully aligned with industry regulations and internal legal counsel.
Q5: We already have a marketing team. How do you work with them?
A: I see myself as a force multiplier for your existing team. I provide the senior strategic layer, allowing your marketing team to focus on execution. I can:
Develop the overarching narrative and strategy for your marketing team to activate.
Offer specialized expertise in areas they may not have, such as crisis or executive communications.
Mentor junior team members and help build internal capabilities.
My role is to collaborate, not replace.
Q6: What are the first steps to working with you?
A: It starts with a conversation. Please [contact me through the form] to schedule a complimentary Discovery Call. We’ll discuss your business objectives, your communication challenges, and explore how my expertise can help you achieve your goals. From there, I will provide a proposed scope of work and engagement model tailored to your needs.
