Wichita, Kansas, United States
As a progressive and forward-thinking marketing professional, I bring more than 26 years of experience in professional services marketing, brand strategy, and leadership. Known for my ability to balance big-picture strategy with hands-on execution, I thrive in environments that require collaboration, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in consensus building - bringing together diverse perspectives to develop unified marketing and business development strategies that drive meaningful growth. I take pride in creating cohesive brand experiences and aligning communications, marketing, and business goals in ways that resonate both internally and externally. Community connection is at the heart of my personal and professional philosophy. I believe that leadership isn’t just about guiding a team - it’s about helping others find their voice, building networks that empower, and contributing to a stronger, more inclusive community. I’m deeply engaged in initiatives that support leadership development, equity, and advocacy. Whether mentoring emerging professionals, championing leadership programs, or helping to close opportunity gaps, I’m driven by a desire to make my community stronger and more connected. My background in communications and public relations has given me a strong foundation for storytelling, brand stewardship, and relationship building - all of which are essential to creating impact that lasts. At my core, I’m a connector: I believe in the power of relationships to create growth, transformation, and opportunity for all.
