I have my feet planted largely in two worlds—communications and entrepreneurship. The connection and core of what I do is to inspire people and organizations to align with their purpose or mission and craft compelling stories about their work in the world to garner the engagement and support of others. I have a track record of success in developing and executing communication strategies. I have led and managed the communication direction and efforts of a 65+ year organization, including a rebrand, expansion of resources, creation of over 50 videos for storytelling, email marketing resulting in an above average open rate of 40%, among other activities. I've collaborated with purpose-driven businesses and brands to develop effective communication and brand strategies that center their communities, grow engagement, and amplify their stories. As a communications professional who has operated as a one-person team managing over a dozen vendors, a senior leader managing a growing team, and as a collaborative consultant with small businesses and non-profits, I have a range of experience in all aspects of communications. This includes strategy, storytelling, marketing, internal communications, digital communications, and crisis communications. Experience in Salesforce, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, Google Suites, Asana, Monday, Slack, Adobe Acrobat Pro, MacOSBecause entrepreneurship and faith are a part of my family and ancestral history, I could not part myself from working in this field as well, particularly since 2017. I help to catalyze entrepreneurs to do good. I co-found and lead a community that provides an accelerator and resources for underrepresented entrepreneurs driven by their faith to develop social enterprises. I have journeyed with 50+ entrepreneurs of whom over 60% still have active businesses.I am grateful to be a part of this work and am inspired by those in my community.
