Kerry Etheridge

I am accomplished at planning and leading comprehensive marketing and communications strategies in support of business objectives. One area of my expertise is in conceptualizing and implementing campaigns to promote programs and initiatives. I am completely at ease communicating with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate and promote organizational strategic efforts.

One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is developing and creating USC's online corporate card training. After its implementation, I presented the training at two national conferences where my sessions were well-attended and received some of the highest ratings.

I am also honored to have been the first USC employee with the word "sustainability" in my title. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for being "green" and sought to learn as much as I could as quickly as possible. This led to implementation of a print cartridge recycling program at USC which has been responsible to date for diverting literally tons of empty and unused ink and toner cartridges from the landfills.

My latest feat is obtaining my masters in communication management from USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. My degree was conferred in April 2014, and I walked in the 2014 commencement ceremony in May.
