I am an award-winning marketing strategist. With more than 30 years of industry experience, I’ve developed a track record of success in everything from print and digital advertising, marketing, and public relations to media relations, community relations, and event management. Prior to joining NP Strategy, I was the Owner and CEO of Fuse 5 – a marketing and communications agency founded in 2006. I built the business based on expertise, accountability, responsiveness, and value, connecting people and resources to projects in a way that translated to repeated success. Accomplishments include consulting with a number of leading global brands, including Fortune 500 companies and those on the London Stock Exchange, to develop a range of crisis management, environmental stewardship, and community engagement programs. I also played an integral role in branding, rebranding, marketing, and managing the images of several firms across a range of industries. This includes energy, financial services, manufacturing, legal, health care, government, human resources, and not-for-profit sectors. My strategies have earned many recognitions over the years, including Silver Quill Awards by the International Association of Business Communications.I started my career working as head of operations, project management, and production for a large regional advertising agency for nearly 15 years. When I’m not at work, I’m passionate about promoting literacy among children and adults. I’m a board member and Chair of the Communications Committee for Neuhaus Education Center, a non-profit organization providing evidence-based training and support to educators.
