Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of holding pivotal roles in dynamic organizations, where I’ve steered comprehensive marketing and communication strategies to align with organizational goals and amplify reach. My work has spanned from public libraries to economic development partnerships, and educational institutions to entrepreneurship programs. I’ve thrived in environments that prioritize social impact, and I bring a deep understanding of both the opportunities and complexities within the sectors I serve.As the Marketing and Communications Director at Capital Area District Libraries, I transformed our outreach approach, establishing a cohesive, cross-functional system that aligned with our strategic goals, increased transparency, and fostered collaboration across all library branches. At LEAP (Lansing Economic Area Partnership), where I served as Chief Strategic Officer, I led marketing and communication efforts that played a pivotal role in raising regional investment, creating living-wage jobs, and ensuring equitable economic development. Through multimedia campaigns, targeted messaging, and innovative programming, we reached diverse audiences, elevated our share of voice, and supported over 1,600 small businesses during the pandemic—85% of them owned by underrepresented entrepreneurs.My approach is driven by a blend of data-informed insight, creativity, and a collaborative mindset, allowing me to tackle complex challenges and help organizations maximize their impact. I believe that well-aligned, strategic marketing and communications not only support organizational growth but also foster connection and trust, which are essential to meaningful change.If your organization is seeking to build or refine a marketing and communications strategy that aligns with broader goals, sets measurable outcomes, and is reinforced by operational systems and compelling messaging, let’s connect.
