Hello reader! I am indeed on a mission to build a better world. With 15+ years of marketing experience ranging from early startups to billion-dollar enterprises, I'm a true believer in "smarketing" to help scale companies and build communities.I graduated right before the Great Recession from UGA's Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication (Go Dawgs!) and worked for various print publications including The Gwinnett Daily Post, Jezebel Magazine, Naylor Publications, and AutoTrader Classics, plus managing the Services category for RaceTrac Convenience Stores. In 2010, I started making my shift to the digital marketing world by launching PrettySouthern.com, an Atlanta lifestyle blog. I taught myself HTML and WordPress, which helped jumpstart my career in content marketing. Since then, I’ve loved working in the Atlanta startup scene for various early-stage tech companies. I've lost count of how many startups and entrepreneurs I've advised and mentored. Paying it forward to the up & comers is the best part of my career.In late 2024, I received the opportunity to become Head of Marketing at Infinite Giving. Infinite Giving’s mission is to help set up nonprofit organizations for financial success, because if there are more sustainable nonprofits, then we’ll build stronger communities and a better world.Infinite Giving is also HQ’d in the ATL Tech Village, and this is my 2nd startup with Atlanta Ventures, so I’m happy to be back ‘home’ in addition to serving as an ATV advisor.So if you’re working at a nonprofit, supporting a philanthropy, serving on a board, or just want to brainstorm on how we might collaborate on this new adventure, I’d love to catch up with you soon.My specialties include B2B & B2C (really H2H) marketing, content management, marketing communications, creative direction, project management, demand generation, account-based marketing (ABM) target account nurturing, email campaigns, public/media relations (PR), brand strategy, blogging, editing, editorial development, social media, ghostwriting, website design, program management, community building, layout, digital design, circulation, market research, public speaking, executive presentations, leadership, and team building.Advanced level CRM & MarTech skills (Salesforce, Pardot, HubSpot); fluent in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop; WordPress, Drupal, CSS/HTML; Microsoft Office
