I am a seasoned marketing professional and successful entrepreneur with more than 16 years experience in marketing strategy and content management, branding and business development. I specialize in areas of B2B marketing, small- to mid-sized businesses and associations/nonprofits.

Most recently, I was selected as one of the Top 100 Content Marketers in 2018. I've also been listed as one of the “Top Young Entrepreneurs” by Minnesota Business Magazine and a “Mover & Shaker” by the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune.

I am a four-time recipient of the Hermes Creative Award and a national speaker on content marketing, business strategy and entrepreneurship. I am passionate about helping others navigate start-ups and new businesses in areas of how to market themselves, business planning and communicating effectively to grow revenue and build thought leadership.

In 2015 I was named one of 100 women to watch in the U.S. as part of The Inspirational Women Project, highlighted in a book of the same title. Last year, I graduated from the Small Business Administration’s Emerging Leaders program as well as was selected as an inductee into the DeForest Area High School’s Alumni Hall of Fame for my outstanding achievements in her industry.

I have served on many boards and committees including Minnesota Women in Marketing and Communications and Neighborhood Connections. I currently hold the marketing advisor position on the BARNCO board of directors. I live in St. Michael, MN with my husband and four very active children.
