Healthcare Marketing

Switching to healthcare marketing in 2017, I have written and edited copy for print and digital ads, email campaigns, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, social media posts, websites and billboards. This included work for community initiatives and underserved populations.

As a marketing manager and creative director, I have led teams of project managers and graphic designers to provide materials for a growing community and the providers that serve them.

I guide strategy and build brands. As the author of an award-winning brand book, I'm passionate about finding the best ways to use visuals and copy together to tell stories and raise awareness.
