I’ve been a remote professional working with small online businesses and digital agencies since 2007.
I believe in creating partnerships with a purpose and always striving for significant outcomes. When you work with me and my team, you can expect collaboration with transparency and consistency.
I focus on coordinating the day-to-day operations to drive business development forward. With a corporate background in healthcare management, I love the fast-paced and ever-changing environment of the digital marketing world, and bringing the components together to create the larger vision.
With a true passion for organization, I support our projects, team, and systems so Alderaan can continue to be a leader in digital agency operations and growth.
As our Admin Assistant, I have a love for organization and helping maintain structure in digital workspaces. Drawing upon my extensive background in administrative roles, including supporting operations and managing the administrative tasks of a private small business, I endeavor to help streamline daily operations so our teams can operate efficiently and focus on exceptional delivery for customers!
As Alderaan’s Special Events Coordinator, I ensure our team and clients feel completely cared for, supported, and successful during on-site events and meetings. This means taking care of all event-related items from planning and logistics, to providing exemplary customer service and taking care of everyone’s needs throughout the event.
My love for event management was born from enjoying making connections throughout my career, combined with a quite clever sense of humor and desire to bring joy to people.
Outside of Alderaan, you can find me fly fishing, hiking the Rockies, and perfecting my Jedi mind tricks for the greater good of all.
What I find most exciting about digital marketing is its data-driven nature and constant evolution. It’s a field that keeps me on my toes, always seeking new ways to make an impact, which is why I’ve invested a great deal of my time learning new things.
When I’m not immersed in the digital world, you’ll likely find me in a galaxy far, far away (huge Star Wars fan!), exploring the wizarding world of Harry Potter, or diving into epic video game adventures. I absolutely love spending time with my husband and our 2 furbabies.
