I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such an incredible team. In my current role, I spearhead efforts to share the Humotech vision and implement sustainable operational processes aligned with customer success. I leverage my background in project management, digital marketing, design, process development, web development, technical support, and business administration.

Our work at Realize Labs really comes down to the individual. We recognize that there is an ecosystem that needs to align and work together to meet the needs of each person that we collaborate with. My goal is to empower that individual, while connecting the dots for all stakeholders.

I find joy in bringing organization's and individual's visions to life. My development journey began years ago, when I spent time learning how to code on my own (thank you Google and YouTube), and later completing a web development certificate. I have been freelancing through much of my career as a web developer and data specialist. This work has given me the opportunity to work with 75+ clients, providing custom UX/UI designs and developing on various CMS platforms (Wordpress, SquareSpace, Wix, GoDaddy, custom builds, and you name it). My favorite projects have involved problem solving for custom data integrations and supporting complex technical environments.

At TrailBlaze, I provided my technical expertise, managing 50+ websites and constantly developing new, beautiful sites for nonprofits and small businesses throughout the Pittsburgh region. I enjoyed working closely with clients and managing projects, from contract creation and signature, to delivery. My work also included developing and executing digital marketing strategy; design (UI/UX) for applications, digital, and print; managing and leading creative contractors and team members; developing new processes and guides; and forging exciting business partnerships and opportunities.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations had to make big changes with how they were managing their operations. We started this business to meet the needs of organizations (specifically, nonprofit entities) that could use back office support. I served as the primary technical leader on the team, providing web development services, IT support, and more.

As Partner, Web Developer & Digital Specialist at Conscious Collaborative, a Pittsburgh-based marketing agency, I managed all accounts and team members. I developed websites using CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, WooCommerce, assisted in content writing, planned digital marketing campaigns, and cultivated partnership opportunities.

I enjoy getting to work on all the different parts of a website/application project. When I worked with this remote team, I was the primary developer. Much of my time was spent walking clients through information architecture (IA) sessions; designing, writing, and managing the written and visual content; and then coding, launching, and maintaining those websites.

As the Content Manager at HammockWeb, I wrote SEO-optimized website content for clients, managed all written content for clients (social, web, print), and curated content for client's social media channels (FB, TW, IG). I cross-collaborated with other creatives at this agency, in a remote environment, and managed projects end-to-end with minimal oversight.

While working at Sabika Jewelry, I had the opportunity to help manage the company's website redesign and content. I monitored ongoing digital marketing campaigns and handled all social media channels. I enjoyed aiding in the production of print and digital creatives, copyediting, content development, and design. Additionally, I put my amateur photography skills to the test by shooting and assisting in for company mini-shoots for creative use. Working with this company gave me an inside look at a local organization whose products serve as a catalyst for change, and whose strong leadership is based on foundational values. Sabika Jewelry continues to raise funds for breast cancer research and other charities throughout Pennsylvania.

I enjoyed submitting articles every month to ForRent.com, as a "Blog Boss." My articles have focused on Pittsburgh and all the things the Steel City has to offer. From lattes to dog parks, I get to meander around the city, snapping photos and writing about my experiences.

My position with Macy's was a nice addition to my overall experiences. I devoted my time to six stores in the Pittsburgh area, brainstorming partnership opportunities, working to expand the local, digital footprint, and attending events to improve hiring in the area. I served as one of two recruiters for the Pittsburgh District. Together, my colleague and I implemented guerrilla marketing efforts at events like Pittsburgh's Light Up Night, and we continued grassroots efforts to bring in new hires.

I was given the wonderful opportunity to intern, during my final graduate semester, with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Having spent some time with smaller, performing arts nonprofit organizations, I wanted to see what marketing life is like at a large-scale organization. While there, I assisted in the creation and integration of marketing plans for shows like BASETRACK Live, One Man Star Wars Trilogy, and Sesame Street Live: Make a New Friend. Much of my time was spent planning and executing grassroots campaigns. I also researched and updated multiple outreach and partner lists.

My experiences as a Graduate Assistant at Point Park University were focused in the Provost’s Office and as an assistant to the Executive Director of the Online Department. I researched and helped to develop new program proposals for the university. I was also involved in the Internal Communications Committee, where I helped to create, administer, and analyze qualitative and quantitative data to further its charge. Additionally, I collaborated with faculty and staff to create presentations and aid in various projects throughout the duration of my position.

I spent a few months working with the Pittsburgh Career Institute. While freelancing, I worked to develop new website content for the education institution. My main emphasis was on social media marketing; I worked to reach a wider audience by planning and executing campaigns over the course of three months. Through these efforts, I was able to apply a small budget to reach 15,000+ consumers and attain 630 engaged events.

Edgar Snyder & Associates is a law firm known throughout Western Pennsylvania. My summer internship experience with this organization, known for its marketing and PR, was exciting to say the least. The bulk of my time was spent writing and publishing web content and other PR copy, while (of course) optimizing for SEO. I continued to provide support on marketing and business plans, assisted the web writer and web master with both content strategizing and content analyzing, and I offered 13 completed blog posts on fitting topics. Additionally, I submitted PPC advertisements and multiple press releases throughout my time with the firm.

It has been said that being an administrative assistant requires wearing many hats, and I can attest to this notion. My position at Carnegie Mellon University’s Integrative Innovation Institute offered me a number of wonderful learning experiences that I am grateful for. While there, I helped to manage the Institute’s website (CMS), pull alumni reports via Advancement Information Systems, and update social media platforms. I thoroughly enjoyed brainstorming and bringing to fruition staff events, meetings, courses, and aspects of domestic travel. I handled Oracle financial services and helped develop standard procedures for the Institute. I am proud to have undertaken the establishment of “green” standard procedures as a Scotty Goes Green representative, achieving bronze level certification by the University.

Ashland, Oh, Us

My background in music has always been a big part of my career journey. I had the opportunity to intern, during my undergraduate studies, with the Ashland Symphony Orchestra. During this time, I helped to design marketing materials for the various concerts that the Symphony was performing. My PR writing skills were put to the test with various press releases. I spent some time raising online awareness of the Symphony through the management of social media channels and other online presence. My main endeavor was designing and presenting the Planned Giving Brochure, to help achieve fundraising goals for the A.S.O.

My first internship experience was as a Marketing Intern with Ashland University’s Performing Arts Department. This role dealt with all performing arts including: theater, dance, visual, musical, and more. I created and disbursed PR materials, posters, and event information for upcoming functions. I also wrote email-based news blasts to inform students, faculty, and staff of upcoming shows.

Seattle, Wa, Us

I love coffee, and Starbucks gave me an opportunity to (perhaps) overindulge that appreciation. My position as a Barista Shift Lead gave me the opportunity to plan and direct shifts of up to five employees. I trained new workers in TA and Starbucks standards, rules, and beverage sequencing. As the on-sight leader, I answered inquiries and provided knowledge to customers and employees. On the weekends I counted inventory and filled out multiple cost spreadsheets. One of my favorite events to be a part of was when I helped to organize a volunteer project at the Ashland County Humane Society.
