Impact for Educational & Mission-driven Organizations
This digital CV presents my work in strategic marketing, communications leadership, integrated brand storytelling, and creative production for education, nonprofit, public-sector, and mission-driven organizations. Explore selected work, trusted partners, measurable impact, and the values that shape my approach to helping institutions communicate clearly, build trust, and move audiences toward meaningful action.
Unlocked Expertise
Management
I bridge strategy and execution as a director/producer. I acquired a certification in servant-leadership management and operate effectively in cross-functional environments—both horizontally and vertically. I build practical communications infrastructure that helps teams and stakeholders align strategy, content, brand, and measurement for meaningful, mission-aligned impact. I connect senior leadership executive goals with individual team performances, manage projects and budgets, and apply my insatiable curiosity to learn along with my skills as an innovative problem solver to deliver results.
Strategic Planning
I develop integrated marketing and communications strategies that connect institutional priorities with lifecycle audience realities. My omnichannel work includes campaign planning, audience engagement, content systems, channel strategy, and performance measurement that help organizations move from visibility to understanding, trust, and action.
In guiding creative teams to bring concept-to-completion results, I leverage my own hands-on, award-winning expertise to hone the productions.
Tech Solutions
I am a forever adopter and implementer of proven and emerging technologies. I have been sought as a technology solutions consultant by companies as notable as Sony Corp. I know from experience that tools come and go; they will compete and evolve, including these most recent AI-focused marketing automation, analytics, and campaign management solutions. I am highly skilled at and enjoy this continual implementation and testing of new software. What I find counts most is being able to vet them with discernment, to quickly learn how to use them, and to know how to integrate them into workflows toward greater efficacy.
A full array of MarTech solutions I have used would be extensive and it is ever growing. As a few examples, I am accomplished with creative production tools such as the entire Adobe Creative Suite and an assortment of video and still image production tools; a variety of AI creation solutions; web platforms like WordPress, Elementor, Squarespace, HTML coding, and droplet management; deployment and automation software such as Hubspot, and campaign solutions for email/SMS; analysis solutions like Google or Adobe Analytics; and work management systems including Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, and Asana.
Brand Governance
For education and mission-driven organizations, brand is not only visibility; it is trust, clarity, consistency, and the ability to help audiences understand why the work matters.
Using applied research, collected data, experiential and creative insights, and trend awareness I create and enhance an organization’s brand identity and market positioning. My cross-platform initiatives reach local, national, and global audiences by thoughtfully encapsulating an organization's unique purpose, culture, and prowess, amplifying their visibility, and growing their reach.
Film & Video
This is where my career began. With 15+ years of film and video production experience, my impact-oriented promotional, fundraising, educational, and documentary films have garnered awards, realized organizational growth objectives, and impacted audiences with absorbing content and meaningful, engaging stories. In the past I have held nearly every creative and technical position in the field. Today, much of my focus in film and video is as a Producer, Director, and Writer. While I still hold a camera and edit stories together, most of my efforts are in putting together and managing exceptional crews in cinematography, audio production, editing, and motion graphics.
Graphic Design
My own award-winning print and digital graphic design productions include online content, presentations, brand resources, fundraising and sales materials, educational content, motion graphics, event provisions, and promotional items. I carry this experience with me as a marketing team leader and thoroughly enjoy working with emerging creatives to hone their craft.
Copywriting
Copywriting is an area that permeates nearly all of my creative and strategic endeavors. I work collaboratively and independently with content spanning expository, narrative, and persuasive styles in both short and medium formats. I bring a strong voice, consistent tone, and rich storytelling ability to create concise, clear, and meaningful messages. I also excel at crafting focused campaign messaging and memorable slogans.
Digital Media
I develop strategic digital materials for websites, social platforms, email, campaigns, and content systems. My approach combines audience engagement, editorial planning, channel strategy, and performance measurement so digital content supports broader organizational goals rather than simply filling channels.
