Laughing so hard that your stomach hurts
The innocent laughter of a child
A stranger who smiles and says hello just because
Telling someone they’re special
Knowing that you’re special to someone
A flower, so beautiful filled with life
The sunset and sunrise
The sound of waves crashing down while seagulls soar overhead
Hearing your favorite song on the radio
Hearing from an old friend and realizing some things remain the same
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
Going back for that sweater that’s been on your mind and finding it on sale
A big bear hug
A tender kiss from someone special
Puppy breath

I have been fortunate to have made a career out of doing what I love, which is using my communication skills to forge relationships and support of causes that are evoking positive change. I also enjoy working with civic-minded companies and organizations. I’ve earned numerous awards along the way, but my greatest satisfaction comes from knowing my work has helped touch lives in very meaningful ways. For that, I have to thank the dedicated staff and volunteers of so many charitable organizations, events, and civic minded businesses who work day in and day out to fulfill needs. These are the generous people with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working beside.

I’ve created and implemented many successful cause-related campaigns and programs such as the award winning Lighthouse Vision Awards and the Collecting for Kids school supply drive. Included among my other past experience is: creating a PR campaign to change the image of newly developed Betts Longworth Historic District, for 8 years coordinating publicity and creative elements of the Inclusion Leadership Awards Event, and creating a PR campaign to help launch the Hidden Treasures CD (tribute to King Records) that resulted in a packed release party. I’ve also worked on numerous other events. Among them - the Appalachian Festival, the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati’s Buddy Walk, the YMCA Salute to Black Achievers, YMCA Character Awards, Greater Cincinnati Alzeimer’s Association Memory Walk, Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Association’s Voices of Giving Awards and more. This year I'm adding the Old West Festival to my list.

Currently I help raise awareness about the positive contributions of the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, and also continue working with other organizations. My experience includes media relations, planning, volunteer management, copywriting, social networking, events, and coordination of marketing materials.

Among the other organizations with whom I have or am currently working are: Inclusion Network, iSPACE,
FreeStore/FoodBank, Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Cincinnati Arts & Technology Center, Manuel D. and Rhoda Mayerson Foundation, Lighthouse Youth Services, Accountability and Credibility Together, CRI mental health agency, and more.

I’m a past Board member of Children’s International Summer Villages and serve on the leadership team for the local chapter of Public Relations Society of America; and get involved with other volunteer opportunities.

An animal lover sharing my home with three birds, I have been studying positive behavior management for more than five years and enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others. My pet interest has led me to become a pet columnist for Hyde Park Living, media interviews, and guest articles and blog posts.
