I’m an experienced media marketing consultant and social entrepreneur focused on building relationships. I specialize in connecting people, brands, and meaningful causes, building leadership teams and business ecosystems with a global mindset. With a diverse background in global media, digital marketing, startups, and nonprofit outreach, I create uniquely focused strategies to generate customers through integrating traditional and digital media marketing.My comprehensive consulting services use Integrated Marketing Communications Strategies to improve management processes and market reach, providing turnkey, omni-channel marketing solutions for micro businesses and nonprofits via Crystal Coast Media and fractional CMO services for small to medium sized businesses needing to solidify marketing processes and teams via SimplicityCMO. I learned the nuances of attracting audiences through my early work in radio and journalism, and I understand the challenges facing entrepreneurs first-hand. I launched several marketing and media businesses before returning to school. I earned an MBA from the College of William & Mary’s Mason School of Business and a Master of Global Management (MGM) from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, where I traveled the world studying global business practices, working with brands like Walmart-Chile, Solar Chile, COTY, CODELCO, Volkswagen, and the Argentina Stock Exchange. My marketing and media expertise includes product development, email, content, and affiliate marketing for digital marketing startups. As Director of Marketing for a trio of e-commerce platforms, I maintained a multi-million-dollar marketing budget, led rebranding projects, and managed activities driving 90% of company revenue. I’ve created e-books, online courses, teleconference coaching events, and at-home digital marketing courses, launched consulting and e-commerce businesses, built and managed hundreds of client websites, and given back by mentoring groups of aspiring web entrepreneurs. My career and consulting style center on serving other people: I invest in the success of my clients, and consistently dedicate time and energy to support causes that benefit others. After discovering my father’s death was due to military contamination, I served on a Community Panel at the CDC to help victims of exposures, then founded Civilian Exposure, a nonprofit news and outreach service for victims of toxic military contamination, where I serve as Editor-in-Chief.
