I'm a results-driven marketing creative with a strong focus on processes and deadlines. A self-starter possessing a background in graphic design and two decades of leadership experience, I've successfully lead teams in initiatives that align with business objectives. My competencies include exceptional organization, time management and budgeting skills, making me capable of managing multiple projects from beginning to end. Specialties consist of print and digital marketing campaigns, sales collateral, and orchestrating live, hybrid, and virtual trade show experiences.
I excel at building relationships with external partners and internal subject matter experts, and I'm adept at collaborating with stakeholders at all management levels to provide results-driven solutions. My unique blend of left-brained and right-brained thinking enables me to see both the big picture and the details it comprises.
I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree in Graphic Design from Middle Tennessee State University and started my career at a Nashville advertising agency on Music Row. My professional journey shifted south to Atlanta, where I gained extensive experience in marketing and advertising across various company sizes and B2B/B2C settings. Apart from some early agency work, I focused on in-house roles within larger corporations.
My commitment to learning extends beyond my degree. I've explored photography (my college minor), video production, and web design. For the latter, I completed a 13-week course at Georgia Institute of Technology, earning a certificate in Professional Website Design. Most recently, I obtained Inbound and Digital Marketing certifications from HubSpot Academy, enhancing my digital skills for trade show promotion and lead generation.
I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning!
