Resourceful and collaborative marketing partner

My 10+ years of experience in the energy, construction and safety industries spans a variety of communication channels: I've written and produced content for digital, print, social media, and events for varying audiences.

Collaboration with others is my strength; I enjoy working with people of different backgrounds and moving stakeholders towards a shared vision.

Having worked both as an internal resource and freelancer managing projects, I’m familiar with the pressures involved when moving concepts from strategy to execution.

I'm experienced in anticipating production schedules, creating processes, communicating effectively, managing competing priorities, and driving results.
