ABOUT

I started my work in PR and Marketing by blogging and creating social media content for my college's library while working as a circulation assistant. I immediately fell in love with being able to use my expertise in writing and communication to promote important, interesting work. From there, I started finding small businesses and independent contractors that I admired and offering to help them with their marketing and press relations.

After receiving my Master of Science in PR from Boston University, I moved to Chicago and continued my marketing and PR career with Playmakers Laboratory (formerly Barrel of Monkeys) and the Goodman Theatre.

When the pandemic shuttered theatres, I moved back to Boston and continued my career with planned giving consulting company PG Calc, and then with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, stewards of one of the premier parks in Downtown Boston.

As I resettle in Chicago, I am once again interested in roles that utilize my expertise in marketing and communication, specifically those that require content writing, social media, and lead generation.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Marketing Automation

I am well-versed in the Martech stack, including Salesforce, Hubspot, and industry-specific CRMs such as IMIS and Tessitura. In past roles, I have integrated CRMs and email clients in order to create automated email and social media campaigns to generate leads and retain current customers.

Lead Generation

I enjoy finding the leads that others overlook, whether they're hidden in email lists or require research into other sectors. In past roles, I have increased lead generation by up to 50% through dedicated outreach.

Content Writing

Most of my past work has involved content writing in some way, whether writing for a blog, creating bylines for executives, or crafting e-mail newsletters. I enjoy taking complex information and figuring out how to pare it down into an easy-to-understand format, both in terms of layout and language used.

Nonprofits and Associations

I have extensive experience in the nonprofit and association industry. In addition to working full-time for nonprofits from 2018-2025, I also consulted with nonprofits in various industries, including higher education, healthcare, and community foundations, during my time at PG Calc.

B2B Technology and Consulting

My first PR internship was with B2B PR and Marketing agency Team LEWIS, where I worked on two B2B technology accounts. I have also worked with SaaS and consulting companies to build their client base and create content such as white papers and blogs.
