About Me

Social Media Specialist and Community Manager with a background in MarCom, HR, and CRM.

As a Community Manager for DeVry University and Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University alumni, I provide deep career related expertise and content.

In my freelance work I provide social research, strategy, and planning, in addition to community management. I've also continued with traditional Communications pursuits through writing press releases, newsletter, and copy writing for small businesses and non-profits.
