Project Manager & Social Media Manager
“You need to get off that phone.” — My parents in 2010 as I was glued to Facebook, not knowing I would one day be a social media manager.
As Letterpress' social media manager, I stay up to date on current trends and best practices to help clients build community online. I also perform social media account management and write, edit, and schedule content. I love working on each part of the process from start to finish — as well as helping clients build their own processes. As a project manager, I help my clients share their stories, develop strategy and take meaningful steps towards marketing goals.
Before joining Letterpress I earned my bachelor’s degree in English (Rhetoric and Professional Writing) from Longwood University, followed by a Master of Arts in English (Composition and Rhetoric) from Miami University. I made the jump from academia to marketing, but Letterpress gives me the best of both worlds — I support higher ed clients and purpose-driven organizations, while still keeping my teaching skills sharp through workshops and courses.
My approach is a balance of creative and practical. I believe the best work comes from collaboration, and I love building off my teammates’ ideas to craft solutions that are thoughtful, effective and rooted in community.
