On February 29, 2020, I took a leap (get it? leap day!) and started Rand Communications in St. Louis Park, MN. With about 20 years of PR and communications experience to build on and a résumé editor contractor role I had recently gotten, I dove in to being a solopreneur. I've now edited over 900 résumés and other networking documents as well as conducted media relations, editing, and content strategy for a live show/podcast about gender and equity issues and a website/blog for mothers. I'm passionate about helping non-profits, small businesses, and job-seekers thrive through solid content strategy and clear communications.

Originally from Minneapolis, early in my career I worked at a non-profit for architects where I wore many communications hats including managing the website, planning events, myriad writing and editing projects, and proofing and writing articles for the organization's magazine. This experience was followed by the adventure of moving to Los Angeles with my husband and living there for ten years and having our two children there. 

As a life-long lover of museums, I was able to fulfill a dream of working at one while living in LA. I handled community outreach, print projects, website and email content, and public and media relations for the organization’s wide array of programs including world music performances, family festivals, youth and adult learning classes.
