I always dreamed of living the Mad Men lifestyle on Madison Avenue, but realized early on that wasn't for me. So I cut my communications teeth by working as part of corporate communication teams. This experience was invaluable in teaching me the power of a well-executed, brand-centric integrated communications campaign.

I have worked in a variety of industries: higher education to automotive (yes, I removed a windshield at Ford in Detroit!) to retail point-of-sale software to a meal plan subscription company. I've planned and executed $1M communication budgets, survived January in NYC running a tradeshow at Javits, successfully executed integrated marketing campaigns that saw 30% response rate, gotten stories placed in national magazines and radio shows, and strategically took a company through a name change and repositioning that lead to an acquisition by Oracle.

Passionate about giving back, I serve on the PTSA BoD at Cedar Park High School. My previous Board experience includes 2 years each on the Boards for Lights.Camera.Help, Freelance Austin and the Austin Chapter of the Association of Women in Communications (AWC), and Cypress Elementary PTA. I served as co-chair of the Wonders & Worries Wonder Ball for 3 years, growing the event to over 500 attendees, and am the 2007 winner of the Anne Durrum Robinson Creative Initiative Award through AWC.

A UT Austin grad with a degree in Advertising, I am lucky to still live in Austin with her family. Hook ‘Em!
