Hello.

With 16 years of professional marketing & creative experience, I have grown an immense passion & appreciation for the ever-evolving world of digital.

When working for the Denver Broncos I joined a fantasy football league to better understand our target audience. I figured it was the quickest way to educate myself on the industry & the people who love it.

My best guess is that this stems from being raised in a military family. My world changed so frequently - changing schools, homes, friends, countries - I had to be on my toes just to keep up with it. Now, as an adult I thrive on constant change and evolving thought-processes. Digital marketing allows me to keep my feet on the ground (in Charleston, South Carolina) while my creativity, problem-solving and curiosity wander endlessly.

In my past roles, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate marketing and creative efforts with teams from the TODAY Show, NFL Network, the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies, the Boys & Girls Club of America, Uber Taxi and the NCAA Women's Final Four. Clients have ranged from hospitality groups, hotels and restaurants to destinations, cities and CVBs. I've worked in transportation, consumer goods, real-estate and the non-profit sector.

I provide a fresh perspective on marketing initiatives and strategies. I understand the need for localized branding efforts while appreciating the importance of the big picture. My unique experiences and aptitude to thrive in any environment has played (and continues to) a key role in my career path.

I describe myself as creative, disciplined, fresh, professional, loyal, proactive, emotionally intelligent and curious - with just a dash of wit and Southern charm.

years spent as an entrepreneur.

A successful digital marketing entrepreneur, it was never part of my plan or a long-term goal. I’ve learned some priceless entrepreneurial lessons & some powerful skills, but ultimately I miss people, building something with a team & learning from those around me.

Astronaut. President. 6th Spice Girl. I knew from the beginning what I wanted to be when I grew up. Of course, I didn’t know exactly what it was called when I was “playing office” in my room as a kid, tapping away on my Casio keyboard. I’d find out soon enough it was called “marketing & advertising” & I was pretty good at it.

Having experienced life P.I. (pre internet) I speak digital language fluently & can translate analytics fluidly. Old enough to appreciate the pre-Tweet life, yet young enough to recognize  emerging trends, embrace innovation & communicate its benefits in a way all audiences, from my grandmother to C-Suite can understand.

Despite having a backup to my backup phone charger, it’s still important I unplug & recharge my life battery from time to time. Here’s how I manage that.
