My Background
Let's Get Personal
I take great pride in being able to connect with just about anybody! I was a licensed skydiver with over 40 jumps under my belt, and later, in the evening on those same days, I'd be at the symphony orchestra in a suit and tie. I own an origami kayak and an electric skateboard that tops 30 miles-per-hour, and I also am actively involved in two Dungeons and Dragons campaigns (one of which I have created from scratch).
I have run a Spartan Race in Asheville and a Half Marathon in Disney, and I am in the body and on the board of a Charleston choir that specializes in medieval and renaissance music. I have been to every state in the contiguous US. I have wept in Hungary and walked, tired and sore, 15 miles across a Chinese city. I've ridden a rickshaw in a Guatemalan town and a jet ski in a Swedish fjord.
I feel strongly about the benefits of being remarkably well-rounded, and all of these experiences have granted me the gift of perspective.
Professional Experience
My Best Apps
2014-2024
THE GYMNASTICS ACADEMY
OF CHARLESTON
marketing manager
& xcel head coach
I spent a decade with GAC heading a competitive program, overseeing their recreational program, and handling all of their content creation and marketing. Digital graphics, social posts, flyers, technical documents and form templates, logos, banners, videos, and more. The gym was an environment that demanded that I learn new skills and new software every year, and I rose enthusiastically to that challenge.

marketing coordinator
My 13 months at the CSO were brimming with marketing design and research, paid advertising, SEO, email marketing, and a heavy amount of patron services (for which my customer satisfaction rating was exceedingly high).
