My Background

I earned a degree in Chemistry and a minor in Art History from the University of Tennessee and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.  I began my post-MBA career in Boston working for a marketing consulting firm managing teams who were developing marketing campaigns for GM, Chevrolet and AT&T. After a few years I went to work in the business development group of a large brand advertising firm on Massachusetts’ North Shore. Here, I helped to build the firm’s direct marketing capabilities and managed teams developing marketing campaigns for Eddie Bauer, Federated Investors, Harvard Vanguard and others. I love being part of a creative business process and the thrill of delivering to exceed clients’ expectations.
