I love creative solutions. I have an extensive background in Marketing and Creative Direction. I currently work on a small, but agile team that serves the needs of a variety of clients within the University. I let goals and data inform my creative and strategic decisions, and continuously coming up with ideas, but am motivated to push them through to completion. I am always searching for inspiration in the world around me. When it comes to the work, I get the most satisfaction after delivering a product or a solution that is measurable and I can stand behind. I also own and operate a photography business that I grew 35 percent in 2014 through relationships, targeted marketing, and dedication to getting the perfect shot. My highest ranking strengths according to the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment are Ideation and Connectedness. I am curious and always looking for connections and how things and people work together, but am also capable of seeing things differently and coming up with simple, but powerful ideas. To me, an idea is a connection and a perspective. Seeing other people’s success is also important to me and I love working on a team where everyone has a unique perspective. When it comes down to it, I want the sum of my life to be more than a name on a page, but an idea that lasts.
