As a Marketing Coordinator in the Charleston office, I specialize in property marketing strategies, graphic design, proposal writing, social media and more. My favorite part of working at Colliers is my ability to be creative in a collaborative team environment with both the marketing and brokerage teams. I enjoy taking a client’s goals and digging deep to find their story and develop their brand.

I have a passion for solving problems through strategic communication and out-of-the-box thinking. I excel in high stress situations and pull from my organizational skills to create a unique solution. My definition of success in my work involves meeting deadlines and exceeding expectations when possible.

In a previous role, I managed the proposal process from beginning to end for the largest single-site laboratory in the United States. Prior to that, in a marketing role at an architecture firm, I was instrumental in winning a $90 million high school project for the firm.

In Fall 2019, I completed the Commercial Property Marketing Certification program through Colliers University, a rigorous set of courses covering a variety of topics and training designed to enhance the Colliers marketing platform.

B.A., Communication, George Mason University

I was selected by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to be one of their 2019 Charleston’s Finest Honorees —a group of outstanding professionals who are nominated for their exemplary leadership, active involvement in the community, and business excellence. I was invited to participate in a three-month fundraising and awareness building campaign to help support innovative research towards a cure for cystic fibrosis.

Originally from Virginia, I love everything that Charleston has to offer. I enjoy going to the beach, outdoor activities with my dog and husband, working at a brewery on the weekends and cooking.
