About Lee Ann Rose

Thank you for learning more about my background.

I’m the author of “Earned Admiration,” which will be released in 2027.

I’m adept at understanding complex topics and translating them into language that make sense to everyone. The skill’s enabled me to find success in each phase of my career.

My agility allows me to serve clients across industries. One of the benefits of a communication career is the ability to adapt and work in myriad industries and sectors. In my 25-plus years career, I’ve managed communications in financial services, a media-holding company, healthcare and education.

I possess extensive experience in designing internal and external communication strategies, developing content for digital, video and print, and maximizing both grant-making and fund-raising programs.

My relationships, experiences and education enable me to be a strong servant leader.

always volunteer

While interviewing to join The E.W. Scripps Company, I asked a long-time executive, “What’s the key to success here?”

His response: Always raise your hand for new projects, especially those no one else wants.

The advice served me well. It allowed me to pursue new careers within a culture that encouraged change and risk taking. It broadened my knowledge of the innerworkings of a publicly traded company and exposed me to the nation’s finest nonprofits.


beyond writing

Writing’s my passion. Like many folks, so is my family. In my free time, I love hanging out with my adult children.

For the past two years, I’ve been dabbling in real estate; buying properties to fix up to rent or sell. Talk about a learning experience!

When I put down a book it’s to take photos. These are among of my favorites.
