My Story
I'm a gal who loves reading, writing, listening to, watching, and telling great stories. Tell or show me a great story and I will learn, remember, be moved to take action, laugh out loud, or want to make a difference.
My passion is also my profession. For the past 10 years I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses across mass communication majors in the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Courses I teach include mobile and interactive communication, mobile marketing strategy, digital and transmedia storytelling, digital media design, social media, mobile media design, web 2.0 and consumer generated media, digital asset management, instructional design, cause marketing, online/multimedia journalism design, backpack journalism integrated marketing communication design and production, advanced graphic communication design, introduction to visual communication, advertising copywriting, principles of advertising, and advertising campaigns.
While growing up home my has been Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Concord, Massachusetts, and Barrington, Illinois. I now call home the historic, small town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin. At heart I am a small, suburban farm girl that needs my little space in the country. There are so many great stories I've discovered being a member of a small, but vibrant midwest community.
