I'm a marketing leader who bridges strategy and execution—bringing together audience insight, messaging, creative direction, digital experience, and cross-functional coordination to turn ambitious ideas into work that moves people and organizations forward.
Especially energized by mission-driven organizations, product and mission promotion, launches, campaigns, and complex special projects that need both big-picture thinking and someone who can make the vision real.
Each project demonstrates a different leadership competency: identifying opportunities, managing complexity, building cross-channel systems, and shaping experiences around distinct audiences.
A new organizational resource created for a niche nonprofit audience—from opportunity identification and research through product architecture, design, launch, and revenue.
Pregnancy help organizations often operate with high staff turnover and highly specialized responsibilities. When information lives with individuals instead of within a system, transitions become harder, onboarding slows down, institutional knowledge can disappear, and leaders are forced to rebuild processes that should already be documented.
The opportunity I identified
I proposed creating something that did not yet exist for this niche audience: a flexible Playbook that could centralize critical information, support handoffs and onboarding, spark ideas, and help Executive Directors organize multiple functions without forcing every organization into the same operating model.
Built the product around real nonprofit operations.
Researched nonprofit planning and operations, worked with Affiliate Services, gathered internal subject-matter input, reviewed recurring needs, and determined what content belonged in the core resource.
Designed for flexibility, not one prescribed workflow.
Created a reusable core system controlled by the Executive Director, allowing leaders to print only what they need, delegate pages by role, reuse the resource year after year, and protect confidential information appropriately.
Extended one core product into specialized variants.
Originated complementary add-ons for organizations with different service models—including medical, adoption, mobile, maternity housing, and others—so the base product could stay universal while specialized needs remained relevant.
Owned the experience beyond product creation.
Developed the content and organization, designed the product, created promotional pieces, wrote the listing page, built the marketing webpage, and coordinated review and approval with Affiliate Services and other departments.
What this proves: opportunity recognition, original product thinking, research synthesis, information architecture, cross-functional development, modular product strategy, creative execution, and go-to-market ownership.

The challenge
A large annual conference has hundreds of visible moments—but attendees should never feel the complexity behind them. The production plan centered on up to two General Sessions per day, seven keynote speakers, a live band, approximately 10 AV professionals, stage programming, video, signage, transitions, and a simultaneous virtual conference, while also ensuring appropriate AV coverage across breakout spaces.
My role
As part of the Conference Core Team, I serve as the primary owner of the production plan and its implementation in coordination with our AV vendors. Final executive approvals remain with leadership, while I build, maintain, communicate, and deliver the production system itself.
Created the operational source of truth.
Own the run-of-show, cue sheets, AV matrices, shared timelines, presentation tracking, speaker materials, vendor documentation, stage programming, and production updates.
Shaped more than the technical production.
Shape timing, pacing, music, mood, announcements, stage visuals, lighting, transitions, screen content, rehearsals, cueing, and brand consistency across the attendee experience.
Coordinated people who needed decisions to move.
Work directly with keynote speakers, internal leaders, the AV team, vendors, and the event planner; delegate project components when appropriate; and keep contributors positioned and informed onsite.
Built for the morning-of pivot.
Last-minute changes are routine. When speakers, timing, AV, or agenda details shift, I update shared documents, communicate the pivot directly, and coordinate with the team so the attendee experience remains uninterrupted.
Balanced production quality with cost control.
Partner with the event planner on proposals, invoices, and vendor decisions within an approximately $200,000 production budget, helping mitigate costs while protecting the experience.
Outcome: The conference has been delivered successfully under this production leadership for two consecutive years. Leadership feedback has been that the experience ran extremely well—and the attendee's experience was positive.
03 · Integrated campaign systems
Reach More Hearts Now
A fundraising goal became a coordinated cross-channel campaign, and an opportunity to improve how the team planned campaigns together.
The campaign began with a fundraising target and a matching-gift opportunity. The creative and communications work needed to span direct mail, email, SMS, social media, and web, while still feeling like one coherent experience rather than five separate outputs.
The system I introduced
I proposed and built a centralized marketing planner that brought campaign schedules, copy, imagery, channel timing, and message flow together in one place. Instead of reviewing assets in isolation, everyone involved could see what the audience would receive, when they would receive it, who was in charge of execution, and how each touchpoint connected to the next.
Helped shape the campaign's visual system.
Contributed to the logo, visual identity, and creative direction so each channel felt recognizably part of the same campaign.
Helped map communications across the campaign.
Contributed to email and social cadence and connected the digital journey through landing-page experiences.
Made the campaign easier to understand cross-functionally.
The planner became the central reference used by participating departments to coordinate timing, copy, imagery, and delivery across direct mail, email, SMS, social, and web.
Built a process the team chose to use.
The planning system was adopted by the team during the campaign, demonstrating value beyond my own workflow—it improved shared visibility and organization across contributors.
What this proves: integrated campaign thinking, cross-functional process design, message continuity, creative direction, planning discipline, and the ability to improve how a team executes initiatives—not just what it produces.
Spring Into Life takes place alongside the Annual Conference, but the audiences are fundamentally different: Spring Into Life is donor-facing while the Conference serves an affiliate audience. I recommended branding the two experiences separately rather than forcing both under one identity.
From insight to integrated execution
I helped shape messaging and branding for both experiences separately, then translated those systems across the many touchpoints required to make each event feel intentional and cohesive.
Separated the identities around audience and purpose.
Designed and branded each experience from scratch with distinct visual systems aligned to its audience, venue, and objective.
Connected message and design across channels.
Contributed to event branding, logos, brochures, webpages, giving pages, invitations, letters, emails, videos, stage visuals, presentations, and additional campaign materials.
Strengthened written and visual materials.
Edited campaign content, made messaging recommendations, reviewed materials, and worked across departments to ensure each asset supported the intended experience.
Kept the moving pieces aligned.
Managed timelines and dependencies, gathered content, led planning discussions, reviewed deliverables, communicated with vendors, and helped determine AV requirements.
Outcome: The two experiences maintained distinct identities while still feeling professionally connected, giving each audience messaging, visuals, and touchpoints designed around its own purpose. The donor event also created meaningful opportunities to educate supporters about the mission and deepen relationships.
I use analytics as a feedback loop, not a report card. I compare versions, look for patterns, make focused changes, and send leadership both the numbers and what I recommend doing next.
Email optimization1% → 2.7%
Email list click performance
A non-donor nurture audience was averaging roughly a 1% click rate against a 2% annual goal. We began shortening emails and offering more relevant click opportunities instead of relying on one giving CTA. A recent communication reached 2.7%.
Digital experience1 → 12
One redesign became a reusable giving-page system
I replaced a plain embedded form with a fully branded CRM-hosted experience built in HTML/CSS, then used that first page as the design system for roughly a dozen international giving experiences—improving consistency while making future launches faster.

Regularly analyze web performance, email KPIs, conversions, giving-page performance, registrations, social engagement, campaign comparisons, vendor comparisons, sales, and year-over-year costs—then report findings and recommendations to leadership.
Leadership
Leadership through expertise, alignment, and execution.
My recent leadership is primarily cross-functional: people rely on me to make recommendations, create systems, guide quality, teach, delegate within projects, and keep complex work moving.
I don't separate strategy from implementation.
My value is being able to understand the big picture, recommend the approach, align the moving parts, and still be close enough to the work to know whether goals are aligned and the experience actually functions.
