Hi, I’m Dara
I love communications consulting because I’m a problem solver and a doer. I’m a fast learner and executer who thrives on digging in and delivering impactful communications that drive action. I prioritize building relationships and identifying the human impact of any scenario. Whether we’re navigating tough business situations or celebrating milestones, I’m the steady hand ensuring we protect your company and care for your team.
How did I get here? An English major and writer at heart, I’ve spent most of my career in communications, ranging from college athletics media relations to marketing communications for nonprofits and B2B firms, to internal communications for a globally distributed team and a Fortune 50 healthcare company. I can write about anything and make the complex clear through a multichannel communications approach.
I was raised on The Muppets and identify strongly with Kermit the Frog, ever-earnest and level headed, navigating the joyful chaos of those around him, and seeking joy in life. I bring that Kermit energy to work and play.
I’m a northern New Jersey native and returned to the Garden State in 2011 after college and seven years working in NCAA Division I athletics. I took a detour from my career path to run my family’s small business (speciality gifts and decor) from 2016-2020, and have worked remotely since 2021. I have a bachelor’s in English from the College of the Holy Cross and a master’s in organizational leadership from Duquesne University.
When I’m not working I love gardening, baking, reading, photography (all photos on the site are mine), visiting coffee shops, and watching all sports, but especially college basketball and the WNBA. Evening Jeopardy-viewing is a staple in our household, and I do the New York Times crossword daily.
