Oregonia, Ohio, United States
I’ve spent my career connecting the dots between creativity, data, and innovation—turning complex challenges into meaningful solutions. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats: brand storyteller, project manager, data whisperer, and even a bit of an inventor. My journey has taken me from the labs of Procter & Gamble to grassroots efforts tackling the opioid crisis, and now I'm ready to start my next adventure. 💡 Inventor at Heart During my time at Procter & Gamble, I had the chance to bring some wild ideas to life. One of my favorites? Creating the Puffs Sneeze Machine, a demo that simulated the force of a human sneeze to prove Puffs tissues’ superior strength. It was even featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things! And let’s not forget Puffs with the Scent of Vicks—a project that combined my research in olfaction with a bit of graphic design magic (yes, I designed the logo!). 💻 Tech Meets Advocacy When I transitioned to Montgomery County ADAMHS, I wasn’t just managing data—I was driving impact. I developed dashboards that saved $150,000 annually, launched award-winning public health campaigns like “Think Again,” and even spearheaded efforts to import Narcan during the height of the opioid crisis. Knowing the processes I created helped save lives remains one of my proudest accomplishments. 🌍 Global Perspective Working on international projects with Vicks, I navigated regulatory mazes across Latin America, helping launch the region’s first cold-flu combination medicine. From overseeing R&D relocations to Panama to helping developing ZzzQuil’s iconic branding, I thrived on blending technical know-how with cultural sensitivity. Fun fact: I once collaborated with a translator network to save $400,000 annually on marketing materials! 📖 Storytelling for Good At Story-Chain, I’ve helped incarcerated parents reconnect with their children through recorded storytelling, scaling the program from a local initiative to a state-wide movement. Whether it’s crafting grant-winning proposals, building websites, or designing branding standards, I’ve always believed in the power of stories to inspire change. I’m excited to bring this blend of creativity, data-savvy, and storytelling to a new opportunity. Whether you need a branding wizard, a data guru, or someone to help turn ideas into action, let’s connect. Together, we can build something extraordinary.
