I'm a hard-working, creative marketer and extrovert with exceptional interpersonal skills. I have experience in higher education communications at the University of Oxford, in academic marketing at Oxford University Press, and have a successful freelance riding business here in Ohio.
I am an animal lover, mum, technology geek, and horse trainer. I love working with people, teaching, communications, and working in higher education!
