Education
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Idaho with a BA in English and Secondary Education. While in school, I was active in leadership roles in my sorority (Kappa Delta), participated in extracurricular activities, as a student liaison for First Book, and received top honors within the English department. Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, I earned my diploma from Boise High School.
Education is not always represented by diplomas and certificates; I strongly believe in being a lifelong learner. Since receiving my degree, my skillset has expanded significantly–and I don’t plan on ever stopping.
Design and completion of content marketing strategy for clients across a variety of industries. Above is a sample of the semi-templated content strategy I created, though every client is unique. These strategies are holistic and include client goals, messaging, personas, KPIs, content audits, competitor research, keyword strategy (based on keyword research), plan for governance and execution, and more.
In 2022, one of my clients requested me as a featured speaker at a conference for marketing professionals who execute the marketing efforts of community-based oncology practices. The practices ranged in size from 5 physicians to 500 physicians. The above is a small sample of the presentation I gave, which focused on using data & SEO to enhance marketing effectiveness.

I am the lead designer for any web projects that we take on, designing any assets that may be needed as well as creating wireframes and mockups prior to site build. In many cases, I also write and/or optimize copy for all pages of the new website in collaboration with our lead SEO.

I have contributed to internal marketing efforts for Agile Impact, including mocking up landing page designs for our web developer to build.

We worked with a local Seattle nonprofit for several years and were charged with redesigning the annual report to look more modern, better reflect the current brand, and provide clear reporting on the previous year. I led this project, redesigning the report from the ground up.
