For more than 13 years, I have loved working as a professional services marketing communications specialist for some Oregon and Colorado’s top A/E/C companies including Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment, Ecofutures Building, Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC), Basement Partners, Classic Homeworks and Murray, Smith & Associates.
My capabilities include proposal development, team leadership, strategy and planning, business writing, web and graphic design, social media marketing, branding and project management.
I specialize in all aspects of the proposal development cycle ranging from research and planning to copy writing, graphic design, interview prep and data tracking & reporting. Additionally, I excel in a sales support role with the ability to coordinate, implement and produce the necessary tools (e.g. CRM, collateral design, events, etc) needed to win the job. Other unique experience I bring to the table is in blending traditional marketing with new media platforms to give prospective and current clients an unforgettable experience of the company.
I am an Honors graduate of Metropolitan State College of Denver where I studied marketing and business, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Studies with an emphasis on Design, Sustainability & Social Impact.
Currently I am studying to become a Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM), a prestigious designation awarded through the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS), which I expect by Summer 2012.
