Dynamic and creative marketing manager with experience of product and service sales and marketing, promotions, public and media relations, plus event and communications management in a variety of business arenas.As an entrepreneur for the past 15 years, I have extensive experience in business sales, marketing, management, and communications. Uniquely, I have studied the art of sales and business marketing since I was in high school and have been employed based on these skills by several independent businesses over the last 25 years. Social media and internet marketing began as the niche business service of Project Progress, as well as event management for business promotion. However, I transitioned my business to consult and manage inside and outside sales, marketing, and customer relations of all aspects based on demand. Through contract agreements, I have teamed with numerous business owners, employees, volunteers, and organization leaders of companies and non-profit entities of all scopes and sizes to develop, create, and implement plans and procedures for successful business growth. Based on experience, I am a leader who appreciates a new challenge. My career drive has allowed me to be exposed to business development trends for a variety of business industries, and I have successfully led others in setting and achieving their professional and personal goals. As a former high school teacher, I recognize the importance of a positive education for people of all ages, and I hold a life standard of “learning never ends.”I hold a Masters Degree in Agricultural Education, and volunteer in supporting students members to succeed in FFA and 4-H contests. I have a rich history in the agricultural industry.
