At UW Health, I work as Director of Digital Engagement. Through Johnson Strategy LLC, I also work as a freelance digital experience, marketing, and media strategist.

At Lindsay, Stone & Briggs, I developed consumer-centric digital marketing plans and introduced paid search and social media planning and buying capabilities. Digital services revenue tripled each year for five years.

I’ve led media and analytics teams, managed multimillion-dollar marketing budgets, and developed testing and reporting processes. My work spans growth strategy, consumer journey mapping, campaign measurement, and digital marketing for clients across industries.
