I love creating impactful digital content products.
What am I thinking about now?


SKILLS

  • Content Strategy

    I have worked on content strategy for much of my career, with a focus on editorial website products and content processes. I have won awards for innovation, presented to national conferences, and have run the day-to-day activities of a content team.
  • Content Migration

    All websites need to be redesigned from time to time. I have managed the content for multiple migrations, both to new designs and new platforms. This task has included the evaluation and remapping of content and site architecture.
  • Digital Mindset

    I've helped transition a traditional media organization to the digital world. This job-within-a-job required the fostering of meaningful relationships with team members on all levels. The result was the incorporation of digital thinking into everyday business decisions, departmental processes, and written procedures.
  • Visual Curation

    I've curated a library of 7,000+ visual assets, suitable for multiple platforms. The selections have been optimized for analytics and brand while not losing site of the fundamental goal: to bring vibrancy and human touch to digital products.
