Why teams hire me

Strategy and hands-on craft in one person

I can write the plan, build the budget, and still art direct the shoot or design the campaign myself.

I build systems, not just campaigns

I've replaced spreadsheets with unified CRMs, wired calls, email, and SMS into one contact record, and written the SOPs that keep a team consistent.

I report results leadership can use

Weekly, monthly, and annual reporting is standard in every role I've held.

Comfortable at any budget

I've been the one-person team stretching a small budget and the Director managing 50+ vendor relationships and a departmental budget.
