I have led marketing, communications, and public relations efforts for companies and communities focused on delivering the highest level customer experience. In this capacity, I have helped market a county's efforts to go green, developed a growth strategy for a global educational organization, helped authors market their books, helped a publisher raise awareness, drove clients to an entertainment educator, and built a content marketing plan for a regional wellness center. I was fortunate to be able to use a depth of strategic thinking and breadth of industry knowledge to help companies succeed with their B2B and B2C markets.
