I bring years of experience in marketing, branding, communications, sales, recruitment, and business administration to my role as social media marketing manager for ClearEdge Marketing. What sets me apart is my ability to discover, craft and convey a brands story in a memorable and compelling way, then build fiercely loyal and highly engaged communities around that story. Driven to deliver the highest value to my clients, I methodically tie my content and social media strategies directly to my clients business objectives. My expertise in both the technical and the human aspects of online marketing make me an exceptionally effective and successful strategist. Insatiably curious and a lifelong learner, I stay current on the latest developments in digital marketing and communications, and maintain subject matter expert status in social media and content marketing. I'm an innovative and creative problem-solver who puts my passion and strong, insightful vision into every detail of my work. Prior to working with ClearEdge, I was the integrated marketing communications manager for Analyte Health, an online healthcare company. Here I met and conquered the challenge of how to bring a brand in a highly-regulated industry to life online. Before that, I was one of the founding members of the Sears Holdings social media team.
