As a producer, I work under my own umbrella of Rock Island Productions, as well as for a number of production companies and directly for corporations and businesses. Lately, I've been doing a lot of virtual productions, using a variety of platforms suited to each event. I love learning the ins and outs of each platform, and how to use them to best advantage for each situation. I've dipped into development of VR/AI and use a multitude of varied platforms to help with meaningful connection in this new virtual world. I am innovative and flexible, and understand how to make true connection and communication happen in any format (live, virtual or....and whatever comes next!). My skill-set is wide - from years of coaching speakersto be onstage to helping write scripts for presentations to designing content (video, design, strategy and execution) working with designers and production staff. I show-call, write a mean show-flow and know how to make sure the details are all in line. Big vision and organization.

As a Director level employee on the management team, I had the opportunity to be a part of strategic decisions at the top level of the organization. From creating the Foundation’s rebranded identity, website, and communications strategies to managing content across all marketing channels and social media, I acquired a wide range of skills. I created, managed and maintained the website, email and direct mail strategy, as well as content and production. From writing stories for newsletters, the website, and social media to creating programs and scripts for events, this job utilized a wide range of skills. I hired and managed interns and staff as well as vendors, communicated with the Foundation’s board, and lead the marketing and events committees. I conceptualized and managed all details of events, with the support of the committee and staff. I was intent upon finding ways to engage donors, and measuring their support through surveys and analytics including social media, website and direct mail. Managing a budget and finding ways to stretch resources through partnerships is a key component of working in the nonprofit sector. I had the exciting opportunity to work on a new software platform from inception to end product (Fund a Need at www.foundationgive.com). Another exciting opportunity included strategizing and crafting the launch of a new social enterprise business with its own brand identity, communication strategy and social media presence (Spark Summer Learning).
