I am an integrated marketing communications consultant, specializing in strategic marketing communications, public relations, and community advocacy. I have experience writing, filming and editing public-interest stories, and am passionate about empowering people to use the power of their voices and the media to create positive change.

I have a well-rounded and in-depth understanding of new and traditional media, strategic marketing, communication technologies, creative and professional writing, and graphic design. I currently develop marketing and communications campaigns, websites and social media plans, multimedia productions, collateral materials, publications, and brand studies for a variety of Northeast Ohio non-profits and businesses.

I also occasionally mentor local high school marketing education students and serve as a guest instructor and speaker at Kent State University and The University of Akron. I got hooked on this field when I became a national award-winning, published author of marketing education training materials in high school.

I am a graduate of The University of Akron’s School of Communication where I concentrated in Public Relations and minored in Creative Writing and Marketing. I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and currently call Akron’s North Hill community my home.
