Vice President of Digital Strategy
A full-time communicator and technologist in Washington, D.C. specializing in digital marketing and advertising, data analytics, and audience segmentation. A part-time amateur urban beekeeper, tennis player, and avid reader.
About
Hi! I am a Vice President of Digital Strategy at a boutique public affairs firm in Washington, D.C specializing in business-to-government (B2G) and business-to-business (B2B) markets. Client industries include defense and aerospace, cybersecurity and SaaS (software-as-a-service) technologies, trade associations and advocacy groups.
I oversee the digital strategy, execution, and optimization of client campaigns. I help my clients to understand and activate their key audiences or decisionmakers in order to elicit desired results – helping to reach their goals. Using data and testing, I am able to build campaigns that are impactful and relevant using precision targeting tactics through paid and organic strategies.
In addition to my role at a public affairs firm, I serve as a digital communications FEMA reservist. In 2017, I was deployed to Puerto Rico to aid in disaster relief efforts following hurricanes Maria and Irma. In this capacity, I used social and digital channels to provide critical communications to residents and other key stakeholders.
When I am not enthralled by the technology and digital space, I am learning the art of urban beekeeping and tennis. Other facts to know about me: I am a passionate reader, love to travel, and occasionally dabble in flying trapeze.
