My Story

I’ve always been drawn to work that combines creativity with purpose. I earned my Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications and UX/UI certificate from Eastern Washington University, where my interest in how things look quickly grew into a deeper interest in how design and communication can solve real problems, make information more accessible, and help people feel connected to the organizations around them.

Since then, I’ve worked across agency, nonprofit, small-business, and multi-location brand environments, eventually leading digital marketing for a four-location coffee company. Those experiences taught me that the best marketing isn’t just about making something look good—it’s about understanding people, communicating clearly, building community, and creating work that has a measurable impact.

A lot of what matters to me personally shapes how I approach that work. I’m Native American and come from the Navajo reservation, and I’m also part of the LGBTQ+ community. Those experiences have made representation, accessibility, and creating spaces where people feel welcome especially important to me. I’m also a longtime animal advocate and care deeply about organizations and causes centered on animal welfare.

Outside of work, I’m a mom and an active part of the Fort Collins school community. I spend a lot of my free time climbing, hiking, backpacking, exploring Colorado, and getting involved in the community my family now calls home. Whether I’m developing a campaign, designing a website, supporting a local organization, or creating something from scratch, I’m happiest when the work brings together creativity, people, and a sense of purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

More about my marketing experience, creative process, and the types of teams and brands I’m interested in supporting.

What roles are you interested in and what is your availability?

I'm primarily interested in full-time marketing and communications roles where I can combine strategy with hands-on creative execution. I’m especially drawn to in-house teams and community-focused brands where I can take ownership of campaigns across email, social media, web, paid media, print, photography, video, and in-person customer experiences. I’m based in Fort Collins and available for local, in-person, hybrid, or remote opportunities.

What marketing channels and deliverables have you managed?

My experience spans social media strategy and content, email campaigns and automated communications, paid digital advertising, WordPress websites, landing pages, SEO, photography, short-form video, graphic design, print collateral, signage, and in-store promotions. I’ve worked on campaigns that connect multiple channels around a shared goal, audience, message, and visual direction rather than treating each platform as a separate project.

What do you specialize in most?

My strongest skill is bringing strategy, communications, and creative production together. I can define campaign goals and audiences, develop messaging and content plans, write copy, create visual assets, update digital channels, coordinate launches, and evaluate performance afterward. My background in graphic design and web development gives me additional flexibility because I can often execute work directly instead of relying on separate designers or developers for every deliverable.

How do you approach brand voice, community, and audience engagement?

I start by understanding what makes the organization meaningful to the people it serves. From there, I build content around audience needs, brand personality, community stories, events, partnerships, products, and the people behind the organization. I’ve used audience analytics and content-performance data to refine messaging and formats while maintaining a consistent brand voice across social media, email, websites, advertising, print, and physical locations.

What does your process look like from campaign idea to results?

I begin with the business objective, target audience, and the action we want that audience to take. From there, I develop the campaign concept, key messaging, creative direction, channel strategy, content calendar, and deliverables. I then move through production, stakeholder review, scheduling, and launch across the appropriate channels. After launch, I use analytics such as reach, engagement, traffic, conversions, and customer behavior to evaluate performance and identify opportunities for the next campaign.
