Summary

Looking for a creative communicator that is capable of strategy and execution? With over 13 years of marketing experience, I’ve developed a diverse skillset with a specialty in serving non-profit organizations. I am uniquely experienced in communications and fundraising. My forte is planning and executing integrated, multi-channel marketing campaigns. I’ve launched and maintained websites, written and designed marketing collateral, crafted and mailed direct mail appeals and newsletters, and employed social media strategies -- all while staying on budget, meeting key deadlines, and generating positive results.
Here’s what you should know about me:
  • I’m curious. The process of going from ignorance to competence energizes me. I am able to pick up new competencies quickly.
  • I’m detail-oriented. I take psychological ownership of anything that I commit to. I work tirelessly to get the details right and achieve a successful result.
  • I’m a team player. I’m intrigued by the unique qualities of each person I work with. I’m constantly thinking about how to maximize each person’s strength to help build a successful team.
