I managed sales and marketing in my position at GTLEX. I interacted daily with guests to schedule and execute large and small school, corporate and team events in the largest family restaurant/entertainment center in Lexington. I also coordinated advertising/marketing strategy and implementation, (traditional) media including in-store POP, print, radio, cable and outdoor, while also adding digital and social media platforms to the media plan and budget. As a franchise, this position provided me with great insight into small business and corporate advertising/marketing practices.

In addition to daily classroom instruction in music & movement, I assisted the director in supporting our staff of 18 teachers serving up to 180 families each school year. I helped coordinate marketing efforts including church outreach tools, community preschool fairs and parent feedback surveys to insure full enrollment each semester. My time in early childhood education provided me with invaluable experience and insight into parents and families as consumers.
