My marketing career began interning for the American Red Cross of Central Oklahoma during my senior year at the University of Oklahoma in 2008. A position with a sports marketing agency in Dallas then gave me the opportunity to create and execute events and PR with FC Dallas, Alonzo Mourning and Magic Johnson Charities, and the Breeders’ Cup. The summer of 2011 through the winter of 2012 I took a break from reality to live in Bavaria, work at a ski resort and travel Europe. I got lost a few times in Prague, almost died running with the bulls in Pamplona and gained some amazing friends living in Germany. My marketing journey then pulled me to Colorado! I’ve held positions in the following industries: craft beer and spirits, cannabis, music, and near-infrared spectrometers. I ended that chapter as a Marketing Director in the hospitality industry. I married the love of my life (Chris) in 2017, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in 2019 and a wonderful daughter in 2022. 

Compass & Kaleidoscope (formally Hoist Marketing) was launched in January of 2018. Since then, I have worked with clients in rally racing, music, real estate, acupuncture, engineering, college admissions advising, pediatric care, clothing, and florals . I have a passion for utilizing my tried-and-true methods of search engine optimization to help small businesses gain a higher level of exposure online, increase their Google Search rankings and attract more potential customers.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your business & goals! In the meantime, you can look further into my past through the photo journey below :)
