About


A note about me…

I am a life-long Topekan. As a kid, I always had a knack for writing and the arts. This led me to pursue a Journalism degree from the University of Kansas.

After graduating in 1992, I worked for ad agencies, a mental health hospital, and state government in communications and marketing positions. I have experience in retail, health care, social service, labor, finance, food service, and tourism marketing.

I eventually grew bored working in a “beige cube” and longed to work for myself and for people who appreciated my creativity. The “golden handcuffs” kept me in a traditional job for a few more   years. During that time, I took on a few freelance clients and had some success. In 2006 I realized that life is way too short to not live my dream of working for myself. I broke out of the “beige cube” and have not looked back.

Owning my own business is truly a roller coaster ride — thrilling, exciting and exhausting! The best part is meeting so many wonderful people who are excited about marketing their businesses.

I have also co-owned a retail meat and deli shop, as well as operated a home-based jewelry business in the past. So, I do have other retail and small business experiences to draw upon when working with clients.

I am a currently a member of the following groups:
  • Topeka Chamber of Commerce
  • Fast Forward
  • Sales & Marketing Executives of Topeka
I am also a writer for for Topeka Magazine.
