Experienced marketing leader with a track record of translating big ideas into incredible results. 

A dynamic, results-driven marketing professional with 7+ years of experience successfully developing, implementing and managing digital advertising, project management and mass communication strategies; in addition - leveraging new technologies, trends and networks to drive innovation, resources and revenue. 

Ever the energetic, eager leader - I have also lent my talents to small businesses as a consultant by developing innovative campaigns that merge strategy, email marketing content & customer segmentation and personalized messaging to drive membership and revenue. My passion for the intersection of marketing and technology and how it transforms business; and a love for relationship-building and tapping into consumer insights extends into other personal projects. I have been able to utilize my proficiency in several marketing automation tools & tech platforms to develop The Conscious Wall & The Third Degree. 

The Conscious Wall is my eCommerce project which integrates the use of Instagram for marketing/promotion and Shopify to sell vinyl, plastic cutouts, or wood quotes to convey motivating/positive messages. The Third Degree is my personal blog that is an outlet to create content focusing on my love for the city of Denver & asking questions to build camaraderie and community.

Business Analyst / Assistant Buyer
Analyzed 11 x 17” pt. 8 font sheets of data to ensure sufficient inventory levels for 40+ vendors at more than 450 stores in the United States (if I only had a $1 for every SKU I managed). I reviewed past sales for insight on the future to fall equal with forecasted plan.  I optimized innovative reporting by using SQL, Excel Macros, and Access analysis.  Presented data to Senior Executives provided a kaleidoscope to their business, so to speak. Promoted to Assistant Buyer where I built relationships with Vendors, purchased “around” budget, closed deal sheets, selected and edited national ads and email campaigns.
