Hand me a map with next to nothing marked on it, and I’m off to explore. New frontiers inspire me and engage my interest. Maybe that’s why I have an art degree: all that blank canvas.
For several years now I’ve been working with Calvert Holdings in Cary, NC, as a Creative Director and Brand Manager, which allows me to draw on my leadership and design skills while skydiving into innovative online marketing and emerging media technologies.
I’m inordinately proud of my first two iPhone apps, one of which is a business app and the other a game (those are under wraps until their release date later this year). It’s also invariably a joy to create, implement, 
and manage full-scale brand identities, which I’ve done for Calvert Holdings and several other companies. During my years at the Museum of Life and Science I was privileged to help design and produce interactive exhibits, and lately I’ve thoroughly enjoyed surfing the front edge of social media — from wikis and Twitter to Google Wave — employing each unique form of communication in multiple ways to serve business goals. I also write, speak, and teach online media skills to other companies.
My husband Lance is a mathy, organized, tech kind of guy. When we were in tenth grade he asked our homeroom teacher for my phone number and it was all good from there. These days he is a program evaluator, and helps me keep the lid (just barely) on our three boys. Since that’s just not enough to keep him busy, he also plays bass and sings. He leads worship for our church, and gigs regularly in the Triangle area with his rock band.
I’m utterly, painfully (hah!) in love with boxing, and if I’m not working, blogging or networking online I’m often training or actually in the ring. I’m a voracious reader with a penchant for xenofiction, physics and poetry, I’m a fiend for a new playlist, and I attend as many live music shows as I can.
