About
Elevator Pitch.
Award-winning and data-driven strategic marketing and communication professional. I thrive when working with people and causes I believe in. Experience working in: tech, arts, small business, higher education, politics, publishing, travel and food & beverage.
Career.
My experience ranges from guerilla marketing for musicians and authors, to media relations, publicity and messaging for businesses and political campaigns, to leading integrated marketing and strategy for the non-credit division of Oregon’s largest college, to my current work as the CRM engagement manager supporting international product releases for a Fortune 100 company.
Travel.
I’m a history enthusiast and traveler with a unique interest in the culture of Britain, Ireland, the former Yugoslavia and the Balkans. My favorite adventures involved the exploration of former conflict zones in Belfast, Germany, Bosnia and Albania. Here’s a blog I wrote about my ethnomusic study in Albania and the hilarity that ensued.
Human.
I enjoy creating podcasts with family members and friends discussing personal histories and life experience, recording original music, performing live music, and exploring the bountiful nature of the Pacific Northwest with my family.
