Concurrent with pursuing my graduate degree in education, I've served a range of nonprofit, government and for-profit consulting clients. Highlights include 1) developing a six-month $35MM integrated marketing communications plan for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and 2) developing a five-year $500MM integrated marketing communications plan with Porter Novelli Public Relations for a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) anti-youth-obesity campaign.

I taught Global and American history at a high-needs public high school serving disadvantaged students, developing curriculum for four different subjects daily. I succeeded in more than doubling the Regents pass rate, a necessary steppingstone for graduation.

Used social marketing (i.e., communications designed to persuade people to adopt behavior that's good for themselves and society) skills to help lead the development of a five-year national campaign to address the current obesity epidemic among youth. CDC forced to slash project budget after 9/11.

I was recruited to lead firm’s most important new business. I led an internal, multidisciplinary team of over 100 for a White House anti-drug public education campaign that was larger and more multi-faceted than all but a few national campaigns of any type. I oversaw a budget of over $300MM including dollar-for-dollar match by for-profit partners.

I started at Bates as an Assistant Account Executive in 1984, earning successive promotions to Group Management Representative in 1993. I built my Public Service/Government group from $6.7MM and one account to $200MM and seven accounts, including the White House National Youth Media Anti-Drug Campaign, Joint Recruiting Advertising Program for the U.S. Armed Services and the U.S. Coast Guard. I particularly enjoyed launching and leading the White House anti-drug public education campaign targeting youth 9-18, parents and key influencers. Earlier experience at Bates included supervising the flagship brand of the agency's largest global client, M&M’s Chocolate Candies, and serving as account executive on the flagship brand of agency’s largest domestic client, Miller Lite.
