As Vice President | Marketing Manager at Emprise Bank, I lead a creative marketing team focused on strategic brand growth and community engagement. Our goal is to amplify brand awareness and foster profitable growth through innovative, cross-functional campaigns that resonate within our target audiences.Beyond my role at Emprise, I'm the founder of The Hive Wichita, a space dedicated to empowering women through authentic connections and entrepreneurial support. We offer private offices, coworking, and warm connections to a network of nearly 1,000 local Wichita women who share the special interest of "entrepreneurship."My journey spans an MFA in Creative Writing Nonfiction, a background teaching 4-8th grade literary arts, and a wide variety of integrated marketing for companies globally, all experiences that enrich my approach to marketing and leadership.As a fifth-generation Wichita entrepreneur and a mother to three, I'm passionate about creating innovative impact and modeling daring leadership. Whether through strategic marketing at Emprise or fostering community at The Hive, my personal mission is to build empowering spaces for individuals to thrive.In my free time, I enjoy exploring nature with my husband, kids, and dog, visiting new travel destinations, reading nonfiction books, and discussing a shared hyperfixation over a cup of Earl Grey tea.
