What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth in digital marketing.

I am a passionate digital marketing professional with a strong background in social media strategy, content creation, and event communications. Currently, I lead the development and execution of dynamic social media campaigns for the Eugene Marathon, collaborating with internal teams, sponsors, and ambassadors to elevate the brand's presence. My analytical skills allow me to assess performance metrics, informing future strategies to enhance engagement across all channels.

Previously, I served as a Sports Sales & Marketing Coordinator at Travel Lane County, where I created and implemented cross-platform marketing strategies, including landing pages and digital assets. My experience also includes a contract role as a Content Specialist for TrackTown USA, where I captured real-time social content for major events like the Prefontaine Classic and NCAA Championships. My educational background in Journalism and Media Studies, combined with my hands-on experience, has equipped me with the skills to tell compelling stories that resonate with audiences.
