Hello

My auto-generated LinkedIn profile says such things as: Experienced Principal Consultant, Skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Communications, Marketing, Graphic Design, WordPress, Event Management, and Media Relations.

But when you get to know me, you’ll learn that I’m much more — I’m a cyclist, lover of design, gardening, books, and cooking, an effective communicator, youth mountain biking coach, and passionate believer that more people riding bicycles can change the world.

I am currently looking for a new opportunity. With a strong background in crafting compelling, user-centered content and a solid understanding of graphic design principles, I excel in creating and managing websites that are not only informative but also visually engaging and intuitive. By blending strategic content creation with thoughtful design elements, I focus on enhancing the user experience (UX) to ensure websites are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, thereby driving engagement and supporting business goals. 

My expertise spans marketing, communications, copywriting, public relations, brand development, and strategic planning, allowing me to align content with broader organizational objectives. Additionally, I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, which further strengthens my ability to deliver visually polished and cohesive digital experiences. I am confident my diverse skill set in content management, design, and strategic communications will be an asset to your team as we work to elevate your online presence.
