About Me

 

I’m a proven marketing communications professional with 6 years of experience. From writing multimillion dollar construction proposals to promoting biotechnology start-up companies, I’ve had the opportunity to serve a dynamic range of organizations in both the private and public sectors.

A proud gator alumna, I earned my bachelor’s degree in public relations with a minor in entrepreneurship from the University of Florida.

Professional highlights include the following:

  • Managed RFP/RFQ responses for commercial construction contracts ranging from under $150,000 to over $20 million. Developed 120+ proposal submissions on tight deadlines.

  • Led three significant website overhaul projects, helping organizations transition from static designs to modern, mobile-responsive designs.

  • Handled 150+ press inquiries for a municipal agency (including radio, TV, and print). Cultivated social media subscribers from zero to 1,300.

  • Co-authored a grant application for a city park project, successfully securing a $60,000 grant.

  • Spearheaded a new $20,000 philanthropic program to support S.T.E.A.M. field trips for thousands of elementary school students.

  • Wrote business articles for an economic development magazine with a readership of 36,000.

  • Publicized innovative biotechnology start-up companies at an internationally-acclaimed life sciences business incubator.

  • Coordinated outreach events as a student ambassador for Google, to foster relationships between corporate teams and university stakeholders.

Recently, I earned Adobe’s Certified Professional in Visual Design credential by demonstrating my proficiency in three programs: InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. As a certified USGBC LEED Green Associate, I’m also familiar with environmentally-sustainable construction techniques.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking international dishes, hiking national park trails, and listening to an eclectic assortment of audiobooks.
