About
As the Director of Digital Communications I lead the team that is responsible for the development of UIC's mission-critical websites including uic.edu and the Red WordPress Multisite. I work with campus communicators and web professionals on areas of information architecture, content management, usability, accessibility, and analytics.
Prior to UIC, I worked in integrated marketing communications for a telecommunications company and in a public affairs role encompassing both internal and external communications in healthcare.
