I am a communications and product manager with expertise in technology, training, and business analysis. I help people, teams, and companies get their message out. I make requirements into reality through effective strategy and team management.
During my career, I have managed online, social media, and print communication; overseen project and product portfolios with up to $750,000 annual revenue; led production of over 200 online and instructor-led training projects; and spoken in dozens of companies, including CNN, Microsoft, IBM, and People Magazine, about building their online presence.
I'm also a 16-year volunteer at the Columbus Zoo, serving on the board of directors as a chair of the Communications and Docent Manual committees.
