Biography
I have been working in marketing my entire career, serving many related capacities across a wide range of industries. I started at two local advertising and public relations agencies, moved to the client side by leading the public relations and marketing communications team at Microchip Technology (in Chandler), then published Natural Awakenings, a healthy living magazine (in Phoenix), and most recently was responsible for marketing communications at Northcentral University (in Scottsdale).
Today, I am working full time at Scottsdale Community College and have the privilege of leading the Marketing Department here with a strong focus on enrollment marketing efforts, digital and content marketing, and public relations.
I have volunteered at and worked on the board of directors for several nonprofit organizations, usually in a marketing-related function. I am involved with Scottsdale Leadership (Class 35), Community Celebrating Diversity, and the Scottsdale-Paradise Valley YMCA. I have an MBA-Marketing from the Keller Graduate School of Management and a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism (Public Relations) from Ohio University.
I love the field of marketing and, as goofy as it may sound, I still wake up each morning excited by the role and the potential its offers (especially here at SCC!) – and I hope to share why during class.
My most important goal and responsibility is to ensure that students are as successful as possible! Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.
