Hi. I’m Shawn.
Let’s make something cool!
*About
I launched my career as an intern and sole Marketer for a tri-state law firm and real estate brokerage in Portsmouth, Ohio where I quickly moved up the ropes and served as the Marketing Director.
In my time there, I executed and oversaw all marketing/PR efforts. In addition, I set and managed the overall marketing budget for these businesses.
After deciding it was time to take the next step, I joined UC Health as a Social Media Consultant.
I was able to quickly make an impact as we exceeded fiscal year engagement goals in addition to strategizing content around a high-profile patient that made global headlines.
After two years with UC Health, I wanted to take on a new challenge in an exciting industry by becoming the Social Media Manager for Great Parks of Hamilton County.
I continuously look for innovative ways to allow brands connect with their audiences in a meaningful way while establishing everlasting relationships and communities along the way.
