I am a marketing, public relations, and social media professional with more than 20 years experience in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors.

A bridge builder, I am passionate about connecting people to business, business to causes, and causes to people. I thoroughly enjoy creating awareness, increasing community support and raising funds for numerous area non-profit organizations, both as a staff member and as a volunteer committee and board member.

A perpetual learner, I take pleasure in surrounding myself with energetic, creative professionals through networking and continuing education opportunities.

A professor, I benefit from my time in and outside of the classroom, mentoring college students and younger professionals. I coach them down strategic paths towards successful careers and community involvement and gain knowledge from their insights.

After the work day has ended, my passion is my family. I am the mother of two amazing children who continually keep me laughing and on my toes. Whether running to sporting activities, navigating homework or just lounging around the house watching movies, I find great satisfaction in knowing my children are kind, caring, genuine individuals.
