Marketing is about more than launching campaigns. It's about building a clear strategy, keeping projects moving, and making sure every piece is working toward the same goal. I partner with founders, nonprofits, and growing businesses that need an experienced marketing and communications professional without the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether I'm developing campaign strategy, managing communications, refining brand messaging, coordinating projects, or leading media outreach, my focus is always on creating marketing that is organized, intentional, and effective. My background includes marketing strategy, communications, public relations, event marketing, and project management across education, nonprofit, entertainment, and founder-led organizations. Before freelancing, I spent several years leading operations and teams, which gave me a strong foundation in planning, collaboration, and execution. Today, I bring that same approach to every client engagement. I can support your business with: • Marketing strategy and campaign planning • Brand messaging and communications • Marketing project management • Email marketing and content development • Public relations and media outreach • Podcast outreach and thought leadership • Event and partnership marketing If you're looking for someone who can think strategically, communicate clearly, and become a dependable extension of your team, I'd love to connect.
