Professional Experience

For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping organizations earn the kind of reputation that creates opportunity – for businesses, destinations and communities alike. Throughout my career in marketing and communications, I’ve partnered with Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, destinations, universities and economic development leaders to navigate change, build trust and influence the conversations that matter most. Joining FINN Partners to launch our Columbus office brings together the work I enjoy most: building something new, collaborating with exceptional people and helping ambitious clients turn momentum into lasting impact.

Stay curious.

How'd you get here?

My career has never followed a rigid plan. One opportunity has simply led to the next, always through great people and strong relationships. Along the way, I crossed paths with FINN on a number of occasions and developed a deep respect for the firm’s culture, values and approach to client service. Looking back, joining FINN feels less like a decision and more like the natural continuation of a journey that had been unfolding for years.
