With a degree in Public Relations, I have built a diverse career spanning corporate communications, entrepreneurship, and consulting. I spent five years at Honeywell as a Communications Specialist, leading marketing communications across various market segments and driving employee communications initiatives. At General Motors in Detroit, I served as a Business Communications Integrator, ensuring consistent and effective delivery of corporate messages to plant employees.

Following my corporate experience, I launched and operated my own communications business, providing writing, editing, and content creation services to a wide range of clients. I then embraced entrepreneurship in a different form as the owner of Christy’s, a bar I operated for seven years. In this role, I managed all aspects of the business, including daily operations, staff management, financial oversight, events, entertainment, marketing, and public relations.

Today, I am the owner of CLS Consulting, where I help businesses elevate their brand presence through social media content creation, writing, editing, and design.
