Who I Am and What I Do

After getting my Master’s, I cut my teeth in politics. I mostly worked in strategic communications and worked my way up from knocking on doors to managing a field campaign. Then I transitioned to marketing for a magazine and now work in healthcare marketing.

These jobs may give the impression of bouncing around disparate disciplines - a twisty career path at least - but that impression would be incorrect. This path gives me 7 years experience in persuasive marketing communication. It includes online, print, direct mail, and in-person - whatever the venue, if you have a worthwhile product, I can tell folks why they should invest.

Why Blog?

Good question. The answer is two-fold.

First, this blog serves as my living resume. It catalogs my competence, opinions, ideas, ideals, and experience, and also captures the less-tangibles like professionalism and work ethic.

And second, I started this blog because I am terrified about providing for my family. I get up at 4:45am every morning to write because I want to learn more, write better, and become a leader in my field - so that I can take care of my family.
