Relevant Experience

Experience helping organizations communicate what matters.

I’ve worked inside a nonprofit and a university, and alongside teams as a consultant. That experience shapes how I help leaders set priorities and give their teams a plan they can carry out.

Prior Nonprofit Marketing Leadership

Coreluv International

Marketing Director · August 2020–May 2026

I led brand strategy, messaging, and creative direction. I worked with leadership to coordinate communications around organizational priorities, including the annual May Match fundraising campaign across web, email, social media, SMS, and print.

Recent Consulting Project

Nations House of Prayer

I configured Church Center, documented how it fits into the church’s communications and who manages what, and trained the team to maintain it. I handed over a rollout plan, launch materials, and a quick-reference guide for the team to use when it’s ready to launch.

Prior Higher Education Experience

Rochester Institute of Technology

Over 12 years at RIT, I worked as an Associate Print/Web Designer and Multimedia Designer. I collaborated with writers, marketers, and developers on university communications and campaigns across web, print, and other digital channels.

Selected Small-Business Work

Agape Café

Agape Café needed to add lunch and seasonal items to three menu screens without overwhelming customers. I gave each screen a clear purpose and created five reusable menu graphics, making room for seasonal products without rebuilding the system.

Integrated Electric

An initial SEO request led to more targeted priorities: local visibility, customer reviews, clearer service messaging, and an easier path to request service.

What It's Like to Work Together

“He’s helped us identify our priorities, develop a clear marketing strategy, and turn those priorities into practical, actionable next steps.”

“He brings clarity and structure to campaigns, translating big ideas into actionable steps while keeping the team aligned and motivated.”

How I Help

Where are people getting stuck?

You already have meaningful work, stories worth sharing, and relationships you’ve built over time. When your team is stretched, I help you see where clearer communication would make the biggest difference for donors, supporters, partners, and community members.
