About
I'm passionate about developing marketing communications plans that have a positive impact and make a difference for the businesses I serve. For me, it's all about launching a new program that entices consumer participation; handling a crisis communication issue with professionalism and poise; landing that full page story about an exceptional employee; and building community relationships that benefit all parties. It’s about creating a corporate vision that meets the needs of both the business and the consumer.
Throughout my career, each position I have held has provided a new adventure that has led to growth in competencies and expanded my colleague network – which is one of the most valuable and rewarding aspects of any position.
My specialties are varied and include: advertising, art, brochure design, brand standard development, budgeting, community relations, crisis communications, customer relations, direct mail, editing, event management, graphics, logo design, marketing, materials management, media relations, newsletters, organizational skills, promotional materials, public relations, publicity, reputation management, research, social media, television, website development and management, and writing.
Technology skills: Adobe InDesign; Adobe PhotoShop; Adobe Acrobat Pro; Microsoft Sharepoint; Drupal (web software); FileZilla (network software); Hootsuite and Tweetdeck (social media management systems); PowerPoint; Excel; Publisher; and Word.
