For two decades, Dr. Jaci Devine has been helping companies tell their story and reach their stakeholders with their unique voice. A writer turned researcher, Jaci is passionate about the written word and understands how to harness that power into measurable results.
Jaci specializes in mixed methods communication research, using qualitative methods to capture rich individual voices that lend color and depth to the quantitative data and statistics that drive today’s business decisions. As a former faculty member at the University of New Mexico and current adjunct professor at Dominican University in the Chicago area, Jaci brings an educator’s eye and a facilitator’s grace to her client relationships, helping bring people together to develop a shared strategic vision and a roadmap for getting there.
