I’m a hands-on leader who's headed up a creative team of art directors, designers, and copywriters for five years at one of Denver’s (and the world’s) largest agencies. I work well with every department and have found partners across the agency. My team sees me as a mentor and a leader in the industry.
I have experience in traditional advertising, in-store marketing, and public relations. I’ve also developed strategy and creative for digital, TV, radio, and print, as well. I have a passion for creative that is insight driven and witty. The right side of my brain loves to brainstorm and develop ideas; the left side loves to plan and implement strategies before the deadline.
I’m looking forward to inspiring a new team, creating a motivating environment, and developing marketing strategies that ensure the company reaches its goals.
