Helping clients achieve their goals through their marketing and advertising efforts has been a passion of mine since I began my career after college.I developed my expertise at The Kansas City Star newspaper working with small and mid-sized local businesses then graduating quickly and working with some of the largest retailers in the country.After many successful years, I began leading and showing sales executives how to help their clients reach their marketing goals. When a decade of leading managing others had passed, I made the decision to take my skills from local to a truly national level. At Valassis, I'm able to partner with our clients and their agencies to achieve their goals on a national and sometimes international scale. The thrill of being instrumental by helping a successful campaign from start to finish still exists.
