My objective is to be an integral element of a dynamic and innovative marketing team where I can use the breadth of my experience in design, management, creative direction, team building, and relational client skills to help advance the organization to greater heights, as well as assisting in the implementation of new models and technologies. I thrive in collaborative and enthusiastic environments that set strategic goals and, working in unison, delivers outstanding work for our clients.

Most recently, I have lead a production staff comprised of digital, SEO & content marketers, art director and production artists, and transitioned new account executives into multiple facets of marketing & advertising and articulated my own (as well as client) expectations while creating and overseeing timelines to meet both client needs and the production team’s capabilities.

One of the most important things I’ve learned is the importance of nurturing client relationships and making yourself available.
