I work with organizations when the stakes are high and the path forward is unclear—helping them find the words and strategies to move forward with confidence.

I'm part strategist, part creative spark. For 20+ years, I've advised leadership teams, grown agencies, and built communications programs that connect with people, create momentum, and help companies stand apart.

Every project starts with clear thinking and honest conversations. Complex ideas become memorable stories. Practical frameworks sustain progress beyond the project.

I specialize in guiding organizations through high-stakes moments—FDA decisions, restructures, product launches, crisis response—in heavily regulated environments. As EVP of Corporate Affairs at Syneos Health, I played an integral role in scaling the company's fastest-growing practice's revenue more than 94% over my tenure; secured 50+ major industry awards; placed executives at premier conferences, including BIO, FT, and Aspen Ideas Health; and created programs that delivered measurable gains in brand awareness, trust, and revenue. As Chief Marketing Officer at two global PR agencies, I develped marketing strategies that achieved their next-level aspirations, adding capabilities,  attracting high-profile, multimillion-dollar clients, gaining industry recognition via media coverage and awards, and elevating executive profiles. I've worked with multiple PR, marketing, and creative services agencies to optimize their positioning and profile to make them appealing acquisition targets.

My healthcare communications career began when my husband, Jonathan Selikoff, was diagnosed with ALS. The average life expectancy after an ALS diagnosis is 2-5 years; each loss (a well-loved partner, father, son, and friend, in Jon's case) is immeasurable. When he was diagnosed, there wasn't much ALS research, and there weren't any real treatment options — one ineffective drug and a small handful of clinical trials not open to him.

Jon faced the disease with his trademark humor and its brutal progression with courage. He wanted the chance to participate in a trial — to contribute to scientific understanding, to hold onto even a sliver of hope. Instead, for two years after his diagnosis, he kept working, running our branding studio, his 'midlife crisis' letterpress business, and truly living: traveling, seeing concerts, playing music, and spending every moment he could with the incredible little boy he knew he wouldn't get to see grow up. He fought with everything he had as ALS took his strength, his voice, and — far too soon — his life (you can read more about his professional achievements here). While he fought this battle with seemingly endless courage and grace, he was angry at having no options and losing the future he had envisioned with us.  

A year after Jon died, I was diagnosed with cancer. I found it early, had access to world-class doctors and hospitals, and recently celebrated six years in remission with no evidence of disease. For this, I'm both lucky and grateful.
These experiences taught me that access to accurate, evidence-based information isn't abstract and can't be taken for granted — clear, credible information is the difference between hope and despair, between informed decisions and dangerous misinformation.

Communications that support research, inform patients and providers about options, fuel investment, and counter false narratives are critical in turning the tide for rare diseases like ALS and more common ones like cancer.
Facts — and the powerful stories that help people understand those facts — matter more today than ever. That's why I'm committed to helping organizations communicate with clarity and truth, because misinformation can cost lives. Every strategy I develop, every message I craft, is grounded in the belief that people deserve trustworthy information when the stakes are highest.
