More About Me

As principal of P.K. Wheeler Communications since June 1999, I have applied my skills, knowledge and experience to assist clients with annual reports, marketing materials and corporate communications. After gaining experience at public relations firms and in corporate marketing, I identified my top strength: execution. I like to roll up my sleeves and turn plans into action. Founding a project-based service business was a logical next step…doing what I do best to help my clients succeed.

I have successfully assisted clients in fields from health care to Internet retailing to real estate development, and I love being a part of so many different communications teams.

I'm a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where I completed a joint degree program to earn a BSJ and MSJ during my four years at the school. It was a rigorous experience that included the most important training a writer can have: copy editing! The program trained me as a business reporter, a political reporter (I covered Capitol Hill from a Washington, D.C., newsroom) and a health/science writer.

I was raised in suburban Minneapolis, worked for a time in Washington, D.C., and now live in Chicago with my husband (a journalist and fellow Medill grad) and our son, Andrew. My non-work time is happily spent with them.
