Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I believe in the power of language and intuitive design. Through strategy, words and visuals, I help organizations find their voice and build a presence that resonates on a human level and gets results.

Marketing communications strategy and tactics are how you reach prospects and customers, tell your story, and drive action. And marketing communications is my passion. I'm a dynamic, collaborative, multi-award-winning leader with deep experience in crafting and executing integrated marketing strategies and tactics that drive brand and product awareness and fuel growth in target markets.

I currently lead global marketing communications for Oracle Academy, the philanthropic educational arm of global tech leader Oracle.

I have a proven track record and expertise in leading cross-functional teams and managing budgets to build brands and create high-impact marketing programs across digital, social, and print channels. I transform marketing strategy into actionable tactics, taking it from planning to results.

My key strengths include:

Integrated Marketing Strategy & Tactics | Project Management | Branding | Creative Direction | Web UX & Content | Writing & Editing | Social Media | Process Development | Change Management

Industries and employers

My skills have been transferable across industries, and those in which I have experience include technology, education, telecommunications, financial services, association management, and ETO manufacturing for bar and beverage, oil and gas, petrochemical, food, and power generation industries. Employers have included Executive Director/the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the Writer Magazine, Catholic Financial Life, American Lock/Master Lock, National Association of EMTs, Sentry Equipment, and ACT. I founded and ran a marketing communications consultancy for nine years.

For fun, I recently built two websites: the home decor blog ivy & artifact and a side writing and web business, inksite.

Education and awards

I love language, grammar, writing, and editing. I earned a B.A. in English with a minor in Communications from St. Norbert College, and an MBA with a Marketing concentration (six additional courses) from Ottawa University. I recently have taken additional courses and earned the Generative AI for Marketing Professional certificate from the American Marketing Association.

I’ve been honored with several awards for my work, including: Silver Award, Direct Mail, Wisconsin Direct Marketing Association | Three Excellence Awards and two Merit Awards, Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Paragon Awards | Seven First Place Awards and two Merit Awards, Wisconsin Communicators Awards, Association for Women in Communications | ARC Silver Award, Direct Mail, American Marketing Association, Midwest Chapter | Editorial Excellence Award, The Writer magazine, FOLIO | Bronze Anvil Award, Promotional Piece, USA Today, National PRSA | Two Gold Circle Awards in Communications, Total Communications Program and Magazine, American Society of Association Executives.
