Skills & Work History

I have extensive history in marketing strategy, content creation, leadership, and project management.

A complete work history, professional achievements, and technical skills can be found on my resume and LinkedIn profile.

I’m a small-town Montana native who grew up along the frigid prairie of the Canadian border. It’s gorgeous, vast, and — for a curious kid— really boring.

That isolation made me seek out connections through books, newspapers, and news shows. I religiously watched Barbara Walters on 20/20 with my grandma. I was constantly in trouble for staying up past my bedtime, reading by flashlight. 

At the University of Montana, I turned that curiosity into a strength, graduating in 2009 with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism and working as a radio and television reporter and producer. Eventually, my job took me to sunny St. Petersburg, Florida.

I left journalism for a new challenge, working as a creative marketing specialist for a small local agency. I fell in love with helping businesses put their best face forward and get discovered.

I owned a thriving boutique gym, CrossFit9, for over a decade. I stepped down as owner in early 2024, but I remain the chief storyteller, and continue my marketing work through my personal project, Art & Animal Co. I owe our success to our ability to tell our clients’ stories. We never miss a chance to make them the star of the show!

I am a proud lifelong learner. I completed my MBA in 2022, solidifying my strategic and holistic business knowledge. I’m currently enrolled in a Master of Science program in data analytics, scheduled to start in Spring 2025.

Recommendations

Hanging out in Cortina, Italy

I love what I do.

Inside and outside of work,

I’m always looking for adventure.

Whether it’s taking my camera out to the beach, schlepping to the Dolomites to go paragliding, or exploring the city with my dogs, I’m always looking for a good visual story.

I love to travel in my free time, scour Spotify for new music and podcasts, haunt my local art museums, work out, and play beach volleyball. I’m a proud geek who balances a love for data with a discerning eye for design.
