Hi, I’m Lanae.
I’m passionate about helping communities build innovative, clear, and appropriate communication strategies. I work with organizations of all sizes that are actively helping people live higher quality, healthier lives.
With fifteen years of experience in public service roles, I am dedicated and knowledgeable in helping government agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations achieve shared goals.
My approach to marketing and communication is:
simple
authentic
human-centered
based on a foundation of loving people
You’ll feel confident, knowing that I’ll bring a fresh perspective to our partnership that’s backed by:
A dual background in public service and marketing communications.
Strong experience translating complex ideas into clear, actionable information.
A commitment to long-term, trust-based partnerships—because real change happens through relationships.
Collaborations that matter.
