Specialties

Specialist in highly integrated multichannel strategy and campaign management, as well as tactical execution based on strategic plans, marketing plans, and communications plans.

Expert at translating strategy for creative teams and developing guidance documents such as creative briefs and moodboards.

Hands-on writer, editor, and art director.

Strong believer in managing and growing the brand, auditing all customer-facing components for unified brand voice and image, and developing one-off complimentary deliverables that fit in to existing efforts while addressing current/future goals and KPIs.

Interests

As a student of life, she is interested in always learning and growing. While she spends an inordinate amount of time online, she also really enjoys people watching IRL as well as being in nature. Her dogs beg me on a daily basis to take them with her wherever she goes. Thankfully, they are too big to carry in my purse so she does limit their tag-a-long time to neighborhood and trail walks as well as trips to the dog park. She is a go-getter and someone who makes things happen, so the ability to disconnect and just "be" improves my ability to strategize and brainstorm on issues, industries, and challenges. She is also a firm believer in getting out from behind the desk and into the marketplace experience the customer's experience. Give her a shot and before long, she'll be channeling your customers' and products' voices for on-target goal-setting performance.
