Hi, my name is Micah (my-kuh)…sometimes people aren't sure how to pronounce it. When I was a little girl I wanted to be an actress and a writer. Get on the New York Times Best Seller List by day, perform on Broadway by night (okay and do a few Sunday matinees). A girl can dream. I had a stage in my room at 3 years old where I put on shows every night. It was no surprise to anyone in my family when I went to college for acting. Shortly after I learned how to write, I started making books – pages filled with adventure and romance in dangerous and magical realms. During my adolescent life, that love for writing morphed into a way for me to share real stories that helped people, which led me to start writing novels – one of which sold over 6,000 copies before I reached the age of 22. My heart has always been torn between the two: acting and writing. Coincidentally, the thing that I love about acting, theatre, writing, and the arts, in general, is being able to tell a story and connect with people. At my core, I am a storyteller. In what I thought was just a "college job", I stumbled upon this thing that I had always heard about but had never really seen in action: "marketing" or how I've come to know it: persuasive storytelling for grown-ups. I became obsessed with learning about marketing. Listening to every podcast possible. Devouring every book. I couldn't get enough it. After graduating with my BFA in Acting, I went back to school and got my masters in Integrated Communications Marketing so that I could be closer to becoming an expert at the craft. The thing about marketing is you can never be a true expert because so often new trends and technologies are coming out.As a marketer, I am able to take the skills of a Meisner-trained actor (which is all about listening and responding to emotion), the skills of a writer, the knowledge of brand equity management, the ability to conduct valuable marketing research and analysis, and the curiosity of an artist and apply them to my projects. Or...if you just want the cookie-cutter professional gist of it:Experienced Social Media and Digital Marketing Professional with a demonstrated history of working in the real estate industry. Skilled in Social Media Content Creation, Graphic Design, Marketing, Event Planning, Reputation Management, SEO, Creative Branding, Copy Writing and Community Engagement.But as you can hopefully tell, I'm much more than that.
