• Why Hire Me •
My common sense, roll-up-the-sleeves approach where what needs to be done gets done. The natural evolution of a career takes you from accomplishing tasks to assigning them – and mine is no different – but I think it's important to always stay sharp and ready to pitch in. I'm great with PowerPoint, Photoshop, HTML, Mac or Windows.
High-level strategist and a seasoned professional with decision-making experience gained in a variety of business environments. I have seen a lot, been through a lot. I hope for the best and plan for worst case. I tend not to freak, just readjust the sails.
I know quite a bit having worked on more than 70 brands and clients in almost every category. And if I don't know the answer, I know where to find it. Everything from web analytics to Facebook apps to ADA compliance to what does it take to organize a flash mob in June. With my journalism background, my love for research, strange facts and new trends is insatiable.
To-Do lists, budget spreadsheets, annual planning – I am a very goal-oriented, multi-tasker.
If it's a budget, I want to come under. If it's a goal, I want to hit it... hard. If it's an expectation, I want to exceed it. I enjoy challenges and delight in team success.
