Always on the lookout for opportunities to learn, grow and develop, but still do some of my favorite things - tinkering with words, making data-driven decisions and discovering the best cold brew:coffee ratio. What I aim to do daily is what I love the most - share stories. I collaborate with a variety of campus groups and external businesses to tell the stories of our universities, alumni and student-athletes. My work has enabled me to turn concepts into images and stories that resonate with targeted audiences. Key pieces to storytelling have been social media, graphics and email marketing. We are caretakers of a brand and continually try to find the best ways to enhance the brand and its recognition.
