Throughout my career, and even before I joined the working world, I have always found myself excelling in content creation. Whether it was graphic design, animation, video production, audio recording eLearning, writing, or something else in the realm of content, I have likely been there and done that. I doubled down on video production in college and took a general approach to learn and consume all that I could there. With all the angles of video production in my back pocket, I found that not only could I play almost any role in that field, but also that the skills and processes I learned there easily transferred over to many other disciplines. After gaining experience in various full-time and freelance video and multimedia specialist roles, I took a chance on an all-new space: online communities. In early 2017, I helped to launch an online community for the very first time and had an amazing 4+ year experience. Working with an amazing team, I helped to create, launch, grow, re-launch, expand, re-brand, and finally produce a multi-award-winning online community. In the process, I was able to create and manage Blog feeds, knowledge bases, forums, an idea exchange, eLearning courses, and even produce an award-winning Community event series, as well as executive produce the organization’s first-ever digital version of their annual conference. These days I am using all the above, and my new experiences in Marketing, to produce and manage short- and long-form assets, develop content strategy, evaluate and act on content performance, and much more. I pride myself on my ability to lead strong teams, collaborate cross-functionally, troubleshoot anything, and overcome adversity to produce above the mark. Outside of my professional life, you may spot me somewhere in the Midwest US fishing, kayaking, playing board, video, and VR games, cycling, hiking, remodeling something, and spending time with my amazing family.
