I am a passionate, creative, and service-oriented communications and marketing professional with more than 10 years' experience.
Writing and marketing have always been in my blood. As a girl, I played, "travel agent," creating travel brochures and booklets and selling them to my family. Our local library was a familiar second home and I loved writing stories even more than I loved reading them.
My BA in Journalism and my years as a television news producer honed my storytelling skills and taught me how to break the most complicated information down to its most basic parts making topics understandable to any audience.
The great adventure of my life took me to South Korea where I taught English in a public middle school. There is no better test of your communication skills than working with non-native English speakers. During my time in Korea, I assisted in writing national curriculum and tests making me a true grammar-guru.
Upon returning to the US, I worked as a Marketing Specialist for United Way where I learned to not just tell a story, but sell an idea. In this position, I created a new website, instituted the use of an email marketing system, and increased the organization's social media participation more than 600%.
My most current work has been as a Communications Manager and Member Relations Strategist for publicly-funded health insurance pools. If I can make insurance health entertaining and understandable to street workers, prison guards, mayors, and the governor, then I can make anything interesting to anyone!
My goal is to make sure my clients walk away 100% satisfied. I can help you tell the story you didn't even know was missing. I'm timely, professional and communicative throughout the process and I will never miss a deadline!
