I am an accredited business communicator (ABC) with more than a decade of experience in the communications field. My wide range of experience includes strategy development, implementation and evaluation, client relations, crisis communications, internal communications, extensive media relations, event management and marketing. I'm proud to have been named one of the top "40 Under 40" public relations professionals in the United States by PRWeek in 2007.

Educated as an economist, I trained to be an actress but concentrated on building a career as a professional communicator once I relocated to the United States from India. A self-confessed animal "nut," I currently live in the Washington, D.C., area with my husband John, and three rescued dogs.

I recently started my my own PR and communications consulting business - and I love it. If you're looking for smart, measurable PR solutions, from strategy to implementation, especially on a not-so-large budget, please contact me!
