About Me

Hi there, I’m Leslie, and I am excited to learn more about your work.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve worked for and with education non-profits, local government agencies, grassroots community organizations, small businesses, global advertising agencies, and the largest school district in the U.S.

I bring a people-centered approach to developing the processes, plans, strategies, and communications my clients need.

Together we’ve produced strategic communications to support employees, engage stakeholders, and serve students, parents, and families.

I opened The Comms Office in 2022 to address a growing need. Education organizations, school districts, and local governments needed communications and marketing expert practitioners who spoke their language and shared their goals to achieve their missions.

I’ve been called “A fixer.”

I’ve been asked, “How do you do the voodoo you do so well?”

I’ve worn many hats. I’ve even been entrepreneurial inside a behemoth bureaucracy. Who do you call when you are ready to move forward with a communications plan? You call The Comms Office. Let’s talk.
