Years before I understood what “marketing” meant, I was editing videos, designing logos, and selling branded apparel to friends. In favor of my natural interest, I committed to earning my BBA and studied Marketing at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. After graduating with four consecutive semesters on the Dean’s List, I dove into three years of hands-on marketing experience at Eau Claire Ford Lincoln Quick Lane. Most recently, I was the Marketing Manager at ToyVentive. At this point in my career, I’ve organically generated over 3 million views on YouTube, planned a major event for over 2,300 people, and brought six new products to life.

I thrive when I can develop efficient ways to approach a problem. I especially enjoy finding ways to use technology to enhance experiences and provide meaningful solutions to customers.
With a focus on efficiency, strong communication skills, and objective-setting, I am able to break complicated processes into attainable chunks to work towards successful completion of a desired outcome. It is important to me to strive for continued improvement that incorporates user feedback as well as innovation and creative ideas to enhance future iterations of my work.

As a project manager in the  telecom industry, I have found ways to not only improve processes on my team, but also to build bridges to other teams in the company to improve customer experiences all while delivering great customer service on schedule.
