Pursuing an early career in print and broadcast journalism. From government policy making to business reports and feel-good feature stories, she covered the news and communicated in a clear way to create shared learning and understanding. There were plenty of stories to tell and deadlines to meet.
After years of reporting the news, she decides that it was time to help make the news! Helping to shape the unwritten story of an organization’s strategic future, and to help mobilize others to achieve both collective and individual future success.

In 2013, her second strategic plan led to the successful development of a 55,000-square-foot community health and research center supported by private donor investments and a multimillion-dollar municipal bond.
Through her consultancy, POORE & ASSOCIATES, she provides strategic planning expertise for corporate, small business, nonprofit, government and social sector executive teams, expanding organizational capacity that results in strategic impact.
