Illinois Science & Technology Coalition

The Illinois Science & Technology Coalition (ISTC) is a member-driven nonprofit created by the State of Illinois more than 30 years ago. ISTC builds public-private partnerships among industry, research institutions, federal labs, and government to grow the state's innovation economy, develop talent, and drive technology-based economic development.

As Communications Manager, Strategy & Analytics, I lead the organization's communications from strategy through execution. My work spans content creation and social media, email marketing through HubSpot, and KPI dashboards that turn engagement data into decisions. I focus on translating complex innovation and policy work into stories that resonate with businesses, universities, and public partners across Illinois.
