Always thirsting for more, I am a golden (retriever) hearted, driven, resourceful, and well rounded professional with a passion for community and economic development. With experience in both the public and private sector, I fixate on ways both sectors can converge to form mutually beneficial partnerships. I have 9 years of experience in NC local government specializing in open meetings law, chronicling of official government business, grant support, as well as website & social media management, and public engagement.In my current role, I report directly to our Director of Marketing & Sales as a Community & Government Relations Coordinator. My responsibilities include brand awareness, engagement events, providing periodic updates to local government entities, and project management.Luckily, I have had several incredible mentors, and I am looking to advance into a leadership role so I can start to pay it forward to those in the earliest years of their career.I'd love a chance to chat! Add me on LinkedIn so we can each have one less connection needed to beat the algorithm. If you know, you know.
