All day long I think about ways to help nonprofits better tell their stories, raise more funds, and focus on the important thing: their mission.

Role: Chief strategist
Current


chicago sun-times

2018 – Jan 2021
Role: VP, Marketing

I am proud to call hardest-working paper in America my home. I lead a team of creative, energetic and passionate marketing professionals as we help to grow the reach, readership and engagement of the city’s favorite newspaper.


opportunity international

2008 – 2018
Last Role: VP, Marketing

Changing the world was never something on my agenda, but the mission and vision of the team at Opportunity International changed all that. I was fortunate enough to help in a small way by building a marketing department that helped to increase fundraising and build a global brand.


levi strauss

1997–2007
Last Role: Store manager

My love for Levi’s runs deep, like tattoo on my arm deep. I spent some seriously formative years here, learning how to manage processes, build teams and most importantly put you in the best looking pair of jeans possible.
