MORE ABOUT ME

I have 30 years of experience delivering top-notch public relations and communications results across Canada’s private, federal public, and non-profit sectors. My career includes nearly two decades leading communications teams at the federal level, over six years in a fast-paced PR agency, a couple of years with a non-profit organization, and now four+ years as an independent consultant. I'm known for being strategic, collaborative, and effective (as well as a decent cook). You can take it from me, but I invite you to read the recommendations on my LinkedIn profile. 

​

A proud member of the International Association of Business Communicators, I provide highly strategic communications advice, develop solid plans, and produce excellent communications products. Since founding Hayden Public Relations in early 2021, a few projects have included, for example: producing parliamentary submissions for different sectors, including culture and industry; leading ongoing marketing efforts for a healthcare AI start-up, a linguistics firm and a law firm; and developing various public education resources for different regulatory bodies. I have ghost-written countless articles, blog posts, and presentations, conducted environmental scans on various topics, crafted strategic plans and priorities for national organizations, written and edited annual reports, and created PR and media relations products for public announcements. Additionally, with two decades of leadership experience, I regularly mentor communications and privacy professionals, helping them achieve their fullest potential.

​

As a bilingual, independent PR consultant, I manage large, multi-dimensional projects and I am also happy to my assist clients with smaller tasks when needed. I am proud to support a select group of clients whose missions I deeply believe in, offering services that deliver value and impact.

​

In addition to the array of services I offer through Hayden Public Relations, I am also an experienced privacy consultant with nNovation LLP. I conduct privacy impact assessments (PIAs) and GAPP analyses (against the generally accepted privacy principles) and draft privacy notices, policies, breach reports, privacy protocols, personal information inventories, personal information banks (PIBs) and more.

My clients appreciate the real difference my work makes in achieving their broader goals, valuing my strategic thinking, approach, leadership, and the support I provide to their teams.
