Growth Strategist

St. Paul School

After developing and implementing our school's distance learning plan for grades Preschool-8th during COVID-19 in Spring 2020, I spearheaded our Fall 2020 reopening plan and communications strategy concurrently offering in-person and virtual learning for K-8 students, 5 days a week.

Throughout my three year tenure at St. Paul, I built and implemented a strategic communications and marketing framework, evaluated teachers, conducted the interviewing and hiring process for countless staff members, led the accreditation continuous improvement plan process, wrote the applications and successfully achieved Ohio STEAM School Status and Blue Ribbon School Status for 2020, implemented a schoolwide professional development plan focused on STEAM and project-based learning, opened a new preschool growing from 0 to 74 registered students in the 21-22 school year, handled all disciplinary referrals, revised and implemented our school safety plan, directed our intervention team, launched our new website, and managed/handled the inevitable conflict that happens in a school building on a day by day basis.

School Administrator

St. Matthew School

At St. Matthew, I rebuilt the communications structure and framework from the ground up including a strategic marketing plan, directed the adoption of standards-based grading, trained faculty members how to transform instructional and assessment practices. I created online learning videos for teachers adhering to universal design principles that were used district-wide. 

After leading an extensive self-study and data analysis process involving students, staff members, and parents, I guided an accreditation committee in creating a comprehensive 4 year professional development plan to achieve academic and cultural goals. While keeping these goals in mind, I bolstered our intervention program and added essential technology in managing our $500k auxiliary budget and federal program monies. 

During my time at St. Matthew, we increased access to technology from a classroom of desktop computers to 1:1 Google Chromebook access for all K-8 students. We expanded our network infrastructure and provided extensive Google Classroom PD so that our students can fully utilize the technology. 

I digitized parent communication with the implementation of a new Student Information System and trained both parents and faculty how to use its features. 

I expanded my managerial/leadership expertise in establishing the cleaning criteria for our 50,000 sq. ft. building and managed the janitorial and maintenance personnel.

St. Rose of Lima

As the lead STEM teacher at St. Rose of Lima in Denver, CO, an urban setting with a 100% Free/Reduced Lunch student population, I engaged middle school students with authentic project-based learning experiences. I collaborated with fellow STEM teachers and non-profit organizations to design multi-disciplinary units of study culminating with real-world products. 

I spearheaded school-wide change as a key member of our school leadership team. We initiated the adoption of the Expeditionary Learning model, implementing data-driven academic and cultural goals that resulted in significant achievement gains over a 4 year period. 

A school of limited resources, I updated all things technology: administering student laptops, implementing Google Apps for Education for all students and staff members, leading staff trainings for best Smartboard practices, filming, narrating, and producing multiple school promotional videos, designing a new school website, and directing all social media activities.

I help small business and nonprofit leaders build marketing systems that grow with them.

After nearly two decades working at the intersection of operations and marketing, I’ve learned that most organizations don’t struggle with ideas; rather, they struggle with sustainable systems. 

They try to be everywhere

I’ve led marketing strategy for nonprofits and small businesses, taking one blog from 0 to 123 posts in under a year (pre-AI), building a multi-year roadmap to expanded brand influence, and guiding a digital marketing team that turned research insights into actionable messaging.

My approach combines systems thinking, storytelling, and strategy, helping leaders turn vision into strategy and strategy into repeatable processes that drive visibility, engagement, and growth.

Whether it’s bringing marketing back in-house, creating content strategy, or building the right systems with your team, I help you move from reactive marketing to sustainable momentum.

If your marketing feels overwhelming and isn't making the impact you desire, let’s connect to explore a Marketing Systems Audit.

This is my 96th weekday of posting on LinkedIn.

Here’s how it’s actually going:

I started in July with a 21-day content challenge.
I kept going because my goal was clear:
🧲 Get inbound clients for my marketing business.

But here’s the truth:

That classic story where someone leaves their job, posts a few times, and suddenly builds a booming business?

That hasn’t been my experience.

Just keeping it real.

Here’s what has worked:
→ Starting with people I already know
→ Telling them what I’m doing
→ Asking them to introduce me to others doing similar work

That simple strategy has sparked real conversations with aligned people and early opportunities to collaborate.

Bonus wins I didn’t expect:
✅ Built the habit of showing up and sharing my experience
✅ Got over the cringe that used to keep me silent
✅ Got comfortable reaching out and ask for the meeting

Here’s what hasn’t happened:
❌ I didn’t go viral
❌ LinkedIn hasn’t been a magic bullet

But that doesn’t mean it’s not working.

Sometimes success takes longer than we want it to.
But if you’re paying attention, the growth is still happening.

Let’s stop pretending careers are linear.

Most people I’ve worked with over the years didn’t get where they were by climbing a well-defined ladder.

Instead, modern careers often look like:
🔹 A job in one industry, then a move to another
🔹 A few freelance gigs that turned into a business
🔹 A break to raise a family or care for someone
🔹 A layoff that sparked reinvention
🔹 A return, a pivot, a new beginning

None of this is wasted.
The skills are real, and the growth compounds.

Success today isn’t about checking boxes.
It’s about bringing depth, adaptability, and experience to the table.

Let’s normalize the nonlinear path.

What’s something you learned in a role or season that doesn’t fit your resume but changed how you work?
