Communications director championing the HxA Way

I give workshops and presentations about:
* Why viewpoint diversity and open inquiry should be a part of your university brand
* How university communications can help (or harm) viewpoint diversity
* How to "un-spin" science public relations
* How to build trust with audiences through storytelling
* Communicating complex ideas, even with people who disagree
... plus numerous topics on higher ed communications and public relations.

I have worked in higher ed communications for more than 12 years, and I'm a co-chair of the HxA Campus Community at the University of South Carolina. I also worked in journalism for several years.
