Since I was a child, I have been passionate about multimedia content creation and business communications. Intrigued by graphic and video advertising, I often wondered what drove professionals to make decisions regarding creative marketing assets. In my teenage years, I learned audio production, graphic design, and video production, utilizing those skills to build a reputation as the preferred media specialist and music producer among local musicians and music groups in Clearwater, Florida.I knew I wanted to do more than just record and create content for local performing acts, so I moved to Colorado in my early 20s to attend Front Range Community College for an A.S in Recording Arts Technology. While studying, I worked as an assistant manager for a recording studio. Upon completing that degree (3.8 GPA), I realized that many of my classmates, freelance clients, and even renowned clients of the recording studio were having trouble reaching their target audiences. I discovered that this was mainly due to the internet convoluting and saturating the media landscape, making creative advertising more important than it ever has been. Thus, the initial intrigue for advertising that I had as a child was reignited. I then acquired a B.A in New Media (3.7 GPA) and became the media and marketing manager for a multimillion dollar construction company called OnCall Holdings in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Impressed by my work with OnCall Holdings, I was offered a job in Seattle as a media and marketing specialist for one of the biggest defense law firms in the Pacific Northwest.Throughout my academic and professional career, I have become adept at:Communication StrategyContent & Media DirectionMarketing Plan DevelopmentPrint MarketingDigital Display AdvertisingEmail MarketingCRM & Sales Funnel OptimizationAudience AnalysisMarket PositioningIntercultural & Interpersonal CommunicationUSP DevelopmentPPC Search Engine MarketingSocial Media ManagementSocial Media AdvertisingOut-of-Home MarketingOTT AdvertisingMedia BuyingContent Release SchedulingProduct & Service MarketingData Analytics & ReportingVendor RelationsSEO & Web DesignOnline Business Profile ManagementLanding Page DevelopmentAudio & Music ProductionVideography & PhotographyGraphic DesignTypographySemioticsBrand Identity DevelopmentPublic RelationsLeadership CommunicationsDriven by my beliefs that learning is a lifelong experience and that we can accomplish incredible things together, I have helped organizations and individuals reach goals for over a decade- and continue to do so.
