About

I build brands that drive revenue and create lasting community. With over 10 years of experience in strategic communications and brand positioning, I specialize in aligning messaging with measurable business growth. My work sits at the intersection of marketing strategy, community infrastructure, and disciplined execution. As Brand Manager at Savannah River Brewing Co., I played a key leadership role in nearly doubling revenue from late 2022 to mid-2025, driving $1.22M in annual taproom sales. I led the marketing strategy behind new revenue streams including merchandise, memberships, and live events, while expanding digital reach by over 400% and generating more than 1.5M content views. I focus on building systems that convert visibility into loyalty, and loyalty into sustained growth. Currently, I lead brand communications strategy for Laurelwood Equipment, translating technical expertise into clear, customer-facing messaging aligned with seasonal sales cycles. I’m particularly interested in working with growth-stage companies, investment-backed organizations, and leadership teams who understand that disciplined communication is a strategic asset. Today, I partner with businesses that value thoughtful strategy and clean creative—whether they need a brand audit, a full social overhaul, or support bringing a new idea to life. I focus on delivering systems, storytelling, and visuals that help brands grow with purpose.
