What started as a way to return to a city that I loved, ended as a career. I stepped my toe into marketing and events at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, when the school was celebrating its 250th anniversary. I was heavily involved in planning and coordinating the culminating event for that celebration. When I moved to Birmingham, that experience led me into a position with McMillan & Associates as an event planner. Next up, advertising where I began to gain healthcare experience with various academic medical centers around the country including Vanderbilt, Shands at the University of Florida, UConn and UT San Antonio. Whether it be referring physician relationship, way-finding or promoting a service line, my experience at Lewis Communications provided a vast amount of healthcare experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. When VitalEngine was looking for a Director of Marketing, my two worlds literally collided. I am tasked with marketing efforts and communication for our company, including a complete rebranding. As our company grows, I've enjoyed the challenges created by adding new features to our platform and new opportunities for our company.
