I am a strategizing storyteller who helps busy business owners connect with clients and customers by crafting thoughtful messages and materials that authentically represent your business. I believe that creating genuine connections requires creativity, analytical thinking, and humor, but if all else fails, try chocolate. As the previous V.P. of Marketing at Visit Topeka Inc., I actively worked to make Topeka a better place to live, work and visit while honing my ability to generate mega-marketing impact on a nonprofit budget. Now, as the mother of a toddler, I enjoy the best of what our family-friendly community offers while writing, editing and creating purposeful content for the best clients a gal could ask for. I don't know how to play the horn, but I suppose I can toot my own. . . I'm an award-winning graphic designer, writer, and marketer who has been recognized by the American Advertising Federation of Topeka, the Travel Association of Kansas, the Communicator Awards, and the Kansas Collegiate Press Association.
