Since I was a small child, my life has somehow revolved around giving back. As a family, we would volunteer for events and at church. Fast forward to my adult life, I continue to have a passion for helping people and helping businesses. I own Beyond Social. I work with businesses and nonprofits on their brand strategy in their marketing and communication. My 15+ year history in communication and marketing roles has provided me with a wide range of understanding. In this work, I excel at becoming the “marketing person” for organizations that cannot hire a full-time staff member. I also enjoy photography, which aligns wonderfully with my marketing clients.The experiences I have gained during my prior jobs have contributed to my understanding of various industries and sectors. I have continued to develop my leadership, marketing, and communication skills since earning my MBA from the University of South Dakota. I enjoy learning and growing personally and professionally, and in turn, pursue coaching and teaching opportunities to share my knowledge. I constantly challenge myself through books, personal and professional development courses, and conferences.
Listed skills include Social Media, Public Speaking, Event Planning, Nonprofits, and 21 others.
