OlogieAssociate Creative Director

Sep. 2010 - Apr. 2015Columbus, OHI led branding and campaign initiatives for organizations in the finance, higher ed, non-profit, and retail industries. That translated to researching clients, writing copy, drinking coffee, generating ideas, creating strategy, managing a team of creatives, lots of discussing and collaborating, and having a couple meltdowns due to writer's block. There was also a massive amount of time sheet completion.

FreelanceWriter

Jan. 2007 - Aug. 2010I helped companies clearly communicate their value to clients. That was the fun part. Since I was a freelancer, I also did all my own sales, invoicing, collections, check cashing, and client and project management. In addition, I did all my own stressing out about balancing the necessary administrative junk with actually billing hours.

HRACOBoard Member

Jan. 2004 - Dec. 2007HRACO is a professional organization for HR professionals. I served on the Board as Government Affairs Manager and President. I got to go to a bunch of conferences where people mostly talked about strategic HR and other mundane topics, but I also got to meet Newt Gingrich so there you go.

Information Control CorporationHR Manager

Sep. 1999 - May. 2008At ICC, I managed internal communications and marketing, in addition to HR initiatives (with the exception of technical recruiting). It was kind of corporate, but also pretty badass.

OlstenPersonnel Supervisor

Jan. 1998 - Dec. 1999At Olsten, I matched administrative candidates with open positions. Many of these candidates did weird stuff, like show up late for work, wear inappropriate clothing, and call the client for bail money, so I was able to get really good at having tough conversations.
