In my role as HR/Finance Manager, I built a successful track record of managing and implementing HR policies, hiring qualified staff, and improving workflows. I have introduced staff development programs, upgraded benefit offerings, and facilitated the adoption of a new accounting system, a benefit enrollment process, and a production system. Additionally, I helped the company transition from second to third generation ownership, combine two companies into one, and launch the new brand. This role also afforded me the opportunity to handle finances and payroll ensuring timely, accurate payments and reporting. I am confident in my ability to make a valuable contribution to any company looking to optimize its policies, improve staff recruitment and retention and grow.

As a seasoned leader, I have successfully managed executive leadership and staff while promoting a company culture that drives client satisfaction. I have also led my team in establishing new processes that realigned skill sets and improved customer service, project installation, and overall profitability on client projects.One of my proudest achievements was introducing a new incentive program that fostered a sense of personal accountability among teams, resulting in a dramatic increase in customer satisfaction scores. I am also proud of redesigning the production floor plan, resulting in improved cash flow for the company and eliminating the need to relocate to alternative space.I developed a questionnaire and objectives to facilitate the sales team's review and documentation of a client's current environment, identifying opportunities for follow-up and increasing the sale of ancillary services. I provided leadership and guidance to the sales team in implementing this initiative, resulting in increased sales and improved customer satisfaction.I am proud of the impact I have had on these initiatives and am excited to continue driving success and growth for my future teams and organizations.

As Marketing Consultant for Skyline Exhibit Resources I work with organizations of all sizes and backgrounds to find effective solutions for their trade show, marketing, and promotional needs. Everything from large, branded exhibit displays to interior building signage, vehicle wraps, window and floor graphics to everything in between. I can help your company and your message cut through the "noise" of traditional marketing and be seen.

Sii Investments

As AVP of Marketing for SII my most important responsibility (opportunity) was to interact with the more than 600 independent representatives. Strong customer service is key to my success and I was fortunate to develop the internal and external communications (print, digital, audio, web, etc.) for the firm. My ability to articulate a strategy and align my department’s activities with the company vision meant profitable growth for the organization and increased brand value. Additionally, as a marketing strategist, I worked to bring innovation and thought leadership to my messaging through various promotional and recruiting campaigns designed to attract new advisors to the firm. I also managed the training and conference events for SII including the strategy phase, site selection and contract negotiations, budget development and talent procurement, through promotion - registration - execution and finally evaluation of the events.
