ABOUT ME

I spent the first part of my journalism career as an editor, learning the ropes and

climbing the ladder. Eventually I was the one setting editorial calendars and managing a

team of editors while working directly with the publishers, designers and sales team

to create solid copy. During this time, one thing was consistent — receiving not-so-great

editorial submissions from companies that were trying to get published in the magazines.

​

I have spent the second part of my journalism career focused on an advanced practice to revitalize

editorial. As a marketing professional, I am focused on turning blah into brilliant. I do this

by devising marketing plans, managing a cohort of like-minded professionals and creating

public relations pieces that tell a good story.​​ As a freelancer, I have made it my mission to share

companies’ stories and promote their talents.

​​

I do this with furry co-workers who offer little advice and sometimes demand

attention from my home in a Chicago suburb. I love traveling and being outdoors, and I am a sports

enthusiast who supports the pope's teams (Go Sox, Go Bears!). I have two degrees, one in

journalism and another in nursing. My husband and I are raising two mid-sized humans,

who are fantastic individuals.
