Stripped Down, Acoustic Version…

I was recently asks to complete a “why me” assignment for a position I was applying for. I don’t know if I’ll get that job, but I do know I loved what I wrote enough to add it to the top of my About Me page. Please feel free to read the “why me” version that is sans-marketing lingo and pro-I’m wired to write. View the pretty cool, stripped down, acoustic version of who I am. 

Senior Marketing Writer + AI Specialist By Day…

I start each day with a “How many mountains can I move?” mindset. A creative problem-solver, I know the power of adaptation. I’m an Award-Winning Project Manager, Copywriter and UX Writer, so I tend to see both the big picture and the smaller details that ensure a project’s success. By day’s end, if my task list is full of crossed-off accomplishments, I consider it a win. I’m also a learning junkie. If I don’t know how to do something, I’ll spend two days completely fixated on learning it.

Learning Junkie

I have a growing list of certifications to show for it. Check ’em out. I have recently immersed myself in AI education, partly in revenge for it taking my job. I’ve since leveled up to Professional-status with AI Prompt Engineering and now understand and can implement the fundamentals that aid with AEO. I even took a 3 month long, 960 hour, assignment as an AI Generalist, simply to get hands-on experience. Please learn more about my intense immersion into the very field I love the least. 

A Leader and Team Player

My leadership style is driven by inspiration; no egos or power trips with me. Empathy is my superpower, and while I’m a natural people person, I navigate tough management challenges with ease. In the workplace, I’m professional yet approachable. To me, maintaining a high morale is a must.

A Type A, Super-charged Creative

I’m also a 100% certified, full-blooded overachiever. Simply put, I am a visionary leader who aims for the sky, yet I am easy to work with and actually like when the lanes between roles are blurry and teammates help each other out. Visit My Referrals page for client and peer feedback.

A Mega-Nerd at Night…

This section is 100% “get to know me.”

Fishin’ and Baseball

My favorite things to do for fun are to go fishing and hang out with my two sons. I love baseball and am a huge Astros fan (#beAltuve), but I also love Shohei Ohtani. It can’t be helped. The man is a unicorn. He’s not worth his gazillion dollar contract though. Just sayin’.

My Kids Own My Heart and Soul

I like making bets with my boys. I always manage to lose. Oh, and I have a major t-shirt addiction. And hats. I’m always wearing one. Hats go great with heels.

The Jedi were Bad Guys. Yup. I said it. 

I also love Star Wars and am emphatic that there were only 6 movies that count, and you watch them in this order: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2 and 3. My favorite character is Darth Vader. Luke wasn’t the chosen one (whiny little turd). Anakin was. He brought balance to the force. Twice. Oh, and I think the Jedi were tyrants (Flexible they were not. Dictators they were. Yes.) Read my whacko theory.

Song Lyrics are My Love Language

I am fluent in both song lyrics and quotes from ’80s, ’90s and ’00s movies. I don’t think I could go a full day without quoting someone or something.
