ABOUT LENA:

I launched Fountainhead Strategies in 2007. My experience as an attorney and writer includes having worked as an Assistant AG prosecuting white-collar crime, such as insurance fraud, under State Attorneys General Scott Harshbarger and Tom Reilly. Later, as an Assistant DA for District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, I prosecuted defendants for a variety of street-related and white-collar crimes in Salem, Lynn, and Lawrence, MA. During those years, I drafted briefs, argued motions and handled jury trials.
I began my legal and writing career in 1996, after attending the New England School of Law, where I served as the Production Managing Editor of the Law Review while interning for Superior Court Justice Charles Grabau. Following my years as a state and county prosecutor, I began focusing on writing, including my co-authorship of a legal manual for police officers on the application of constitutional law to arrests; writing various political and legal columns; assisting political campaigns with direct-mail fundraising; and working with non-profits and start-ups with their grant-writing and communications.
I now focus on helping small businesses and local non-profits get media coverage, and assist executives in larger companies in putting together lively presentations, speeches and roasts.
Apart from the serious pursuit of writing, and strictly for thrills, I've performed as a stand-up comic in such venues as Nick's Comedy Stop; Giggles; and The Comedy Connection in Boston--making my perspective a little different than business-as-usual.
