About

This year marks 17 years in the field of parks and recreation! I've worked my way up through the ranks, from my time as a PR Specialist and then as a PR & Marketing Manager before being promoted to Director of Marketing and Communications by the age of 30. February 2023 marks 6 years at the Elmhurst Park District, which was named a Chicago Tribune Top Workplace in 2019. 

My experience ranges from social media engagement, digital media strategy, and content development to brand management and strategic oversight. My department consists of a graphic designer, a content editor, and an event and development supervisor. We are responsible for all aspects of marketing and communications for the District, which include a fitness center, golf course, mansion, two outdoor pools, 28 parks, large-scale community events, and a variety of recreation programs. 

Throughout my career, I've also stayed highly involved in the communications and marketing section of IPRA. Currently I serve as co-chair of the Joint Editorial Committee.
