About

I am a Marketing and Communications Specialist who seamlessly blends a background in branding, communications and community outreach, bringing an authentic voice to each of my projects. In everything I do, I bring the passion of an activist, the determination of a mom and the sense of humor of someone who lives pretty darn close to Second City.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with a range of organizations to extract and develop their central identity and message, creating compelling and effective communication tools for a variety of audiences.

I have worked both in-house and as a consultant for a broad range of industries and types of businesses, including educational publishers, nonprofits, eCommerce firms, and local brick-and-mortars.

Offline, I’m a writer, recovering marathoner, and an outdoor girl. I enjoy volunteering and fundraising, and instilling that sense of community in my kids. We love to hit the road on adventures, often with dogs in tow.
