Storytelling is my passion, giving brands a voice inspires me, and being a lifelong learner empowers me to explore the possibilities and opportunities for ongoing growth. These qualities influence my work and fuel my drive to make a meaningful impact on my client's business. I would describe my execution of work as a perfect balance of vision, strategy, positivity and keeping it real.

I have over 20 years of marketing and communications experience working in public and private sectors for corporate, government, non-profit, and sports and entertainment industries. My diverse professional background has given me a wide lens, not to see limitations but what can become and how to problem-solve marketing communication challenges.

My career began with the Denver Broncos Football Club working in media relations and marketing, where I oversaw all team publications' marketing communications strategy and development. However, most of my career was spent at public relations, marketing and advertising agencies specializing in hospitality and retail, where I managed local, regional and national campaigns for major consumer brands.

Before launching iNtrinsic Media Group, I served as the Director of Communications for the city of Denver's Office of Human Resources, where I led the agency's rebranding initiative and launched the first City University for Denver. I believe in the intrinsic purpose within all of us. I look forward to working with clients to build a solid strategic marketing communications foundation that delivers driven and purposeful results.

Meaningful work inspires me. I love a challenge, I love to achieve what people thought was impossible. And more than anything else, I love knowing my hard work and energy are spent making the world better for the people who live here.

I've spent over 25 years in various marketing and communication roles. At the beginning of my career, I spent 10 years in the private sector, mostly at advertising and public relations agencies specializing in entertainment publicity and promotions for feature film studios. I worked with Disney, Paramount and Universal Studios on films that bring people happiness and help them escape. However, I was searching for a more direct way to make an impact and found that in the public sector. I then spent 13 years in various public service roles for the state of Colorado, the City and County of Denver and the state of California. During this time, I served as the Director of Communications for the Lt. Governor of Colorado and Denver Human Services, Marketing Manager for the Port of San Diego, Public Affairs Manager for Denver Public Works and Deputy Communications Director for the Denver Mayor's Office.

As a public servant, I have created a wide variety of purpose-driven marketing, communications and outreach campaigns bringing awareness to the environment, child and family services, higher education, economic development, foster parent recruitment, ending homelessness and other critical community initiatives. Most recently, I returned to the private sector to become VP of Creative Strategy for JPW Communications, an agency specializing in public sector work. This led to founding Axiom of Purpose where my goal is to expand into more purpose-driven marketing opportunities for all sectors in partnership with iNtrinsic Media Group. On the weekends, you will find me writing poetry (some of it rhymes - gasp!), decorating for my latest theme party, hanging with my daughters and granddaughters at the beach or pretending I'm a hiker, but mostly just getting lost.

Strategy is my strong suit. I can walk into any situation, evaluate the current state of affairs, consider stakeholders and their needs, and assess challenges and opportunities to support clients in finding success through open information sharing, collaboration and strategic communications.

For nearly 30 years, I have worked to serve the needs of purpose-driven organizations. I began my career in non-profits focused on education and public health before transitioning into the public sector. I spent 18 years with the City & County of Denver – where I built my communications, marketing and public affairs skills in the area of public service. During that time, I led local government affairs at Denver International Airport, the fifth-largest U.S. airport and Denver Public Works. I managed communications for Denver Parks & Recreation after serving time in the Denver mayor's office. Most recently, I was the Marketing & Communications Director for JPW Communications, where I worked on multiple marketing and communications initiatives for various city agencies and special districts in California.
