After working nearly a decade in online education, I developed a passion for helping small businesses grow by elevating their brand marketing strategy. In June 2019 I left my corporate career to become the Marketing Manager of Flags USA - a women-owned, family-run small business headquartered in Bartlett, IL. Three years later I was invited to become a co-owner of the company. In January 2024, the promotional products division of Flags USA separated into its own entity, Ellevie Custom - a custom products company that helps founders and influencers create authentic connections with their customers through branded merchandise. My life's passion is seeing small businesses increase their income so they can magnify their impact in their families and communities. When I am not working, you can find me snuggled on the couch watching Disney+ with my husband, three girls, and family cat.
