I am a highly energetic and creative brand marketing and communications leader with nearly 15 years of experience. Before joining Lockton's Communications Practice, I led brand development, internal and external communications and marketing, social media and media relations for a variety of companies. As a consultant for two respected Kansas City ad agencies, Barkley and Kuhn & Wittenborn, I developed and directed marketing campaigns for high-profile clients, including Krispy Kreme, Dairy Queen, CrossFirst Bank and Lee Denim. For each of these clients, I was brought in to build and execute strategic marketing plans. In addition to my agency work, I also partnered independently with Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Time Warner Cable, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, Heartland Center for Behavioral Change, Children's Mercy Hospitals, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas and The Mission Project on a wide range of marketing and communications projects.
