Discovered an interest in social media as a career during my time with The Arizona Republic/azcentral.com on the retail and real estate ad sales side of the house. Like turned to love when I became a part of the Facebook Small Business Solutions team here in Phoenix in 2012, then turned that into social media management positions with a local tech startup and other Valley businesses before partnering with a colleague to operate our own boutique agency. When the offer came to become a part of what's happening at ASU in 2018, I jumped at the chance and haven't looked back.
In addition to my role at ASU I also organized Social Media Day Phoenix for two years, and have headed up Social Media Club Phoenix since 2015. I'm also part of the volunteer marketing team behind #yesPHX, which is the startup and entrepreneurial community in the Valley. My duties mostly revolve around managing social media channels including our Slack channel, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and the #yesPHX Facebook group.
Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, I've lived in the Greater Phoenix area since moving here in 2005 after residing in Baltimore, MD and Jacksonville, FL areas. Yes...I'm a long-time, die-hard Patriots and Celtics fan (used to be Red Sox until they traded Mookie Betts!)...but I've been #SunDevilNation since I was young, definitely was cheering when Jake the Snake beat Nebraska, and Eddie House is in my pantheon of all time favorite college basketball players.
