Work Experience
My work experience consists of me working in a number of Marketing and Public Relations roles in an agency, internal and freelance capacity.
In the agency setting, I have developed my skills in communication, sales and project strategy. I also facilitated client research and crafted marketing and branding plans based on the client’s parameters. My work also included managing budgets, campaigns and reporting their results to clients. I have had the pleasure to service clients both big and small, B2B and B2C. Working in an agency setting has also taught me how to lead and work productively in a group.
I have taken it upon myself to also seek freelance work so that I can expand my skills in social media and other forms of digital marketing. Freelancing has also taught and enhanced my skill in relationships building, networking and project management.

Interest’s
My two biggest interests are closely tied. Travel and Food! So far domestically I have been to 40 out of 50 States. Internationally I have had the pleasure of visiting Canada, China, Mexico, Sweden, and Turkey.
My travels, natural curiosity, and large appetite have exposed me to a lot of different cultures and cuisines. If I would have to pick a favorite food it would have to be pasta or sandwich in any form. And yes, Hot Dogs are sandwiches.
In my free time; you can find me reading history or a science-fiction book, playing on Xbox Live, or trying out a new restaurant.
