Specialized in leading the strategic marketing efforts for a wide range of companies and nonprofit organizations. I’m passionate about making communities successful for the long-term by preparing the next generation to become self-sustaining and contributing members of society.For the last six years, I've had the honor of establishing the first strategic marketing program for a 60-year-old non-profit providing financial literacy, work readiness, critical thinking and entrepreneurship education to more than 60,000 students in Arizona annually. Prior to my current position, I headed the communications and development helm at an international non-profit where I spearheaded fundraising, communications and administrative efforts for the U.S.-based operations.I also have nearly a decade's experience working in a prominent full-service marketing agency, representing clients in various industries including: retail/resale, restaurants/food, healthcare, banking/finance, spas/medical aesthetics, real estate, law, professional associations/services, non-profit, transportation and political campaigns.With equal experience working in agency-setting servicing a wide-range of clients and working in-house at large nonprofits, my strengths in nearly all marketing disciplines have been honed to break through the clutter - regardless of industry, budget or market position.I've led integrated accounts ranging from some of the most recognized national brands to promising start-ups. I can adapt appropriately to a given set of circumstances, opportunities or limitations. Most of all, I believe every good company has an even better story.Specialties: Strategy/planning, leadership, people/project management, fundraising and development, marketing, public relations, media relations, community relations, writing, branding, reputation management, interactive strategy, constituent/market research, public speaking/presenting, grassroots marketing, creative development/fulfillment, customer service.
