You have a mission. A purpose. You want to see your mission make a positive impact on the world. You want to see change, justice and transformation. You believe that anything is possible, with faith, and your aren't afraid to dream big. 

I'm right there with you! 

I have a heart to encourage and empower people with their dreams and aspirations, whether your mission is a cause, organization or business. Your mission becomes my mission. 

In my early career, I lived and learned from my successes and failures of owning a small retail business for ten years. I experienced both the incredible highs and devastating lows of working as a director for a faith-based non-profit for eight years. God has uniquely shaped me to “stand in the shoes” of leaders seeking to connect and engage people into their causes, churches, organizations and non-profits. Each organization has their unique challenges. In the end, though, it is all about engaging people authentically and with genuine care. This ignited my interest in creating SparkMission. 

There has NEVER been a better time for nonprofits and entrepreneurs to connect directly with their clients, customers and donors. Marketing has seen a HUGE shift to become more connected, more humanized and more personalized and it is the perfect time for you to REALLY leverage the power online marketing to engage your community!

My History: I was born and raised in Lancaster, grew up in York County and now call Lancaster, PA home. Including a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, I have worked in marketing most of my life. I have vast experience in building businesses and organizations through people to people connections. Word of mouth and building authentic relationships with people has historically been the best way to connect people to your business, organization or cause in the long-term. Traditional marketing techniques definitely do still impact, but things have dramatically shifted toward a new style of integrated “social” communicating.  In building integrity, trust and loyalty-nothing compares to someone else’s recommendation or directly relating with your clients or audience.

I have been in social media, blogging and website content management for 5 years.  I am a certified Inbound Marketer with Inbound Marketing University, a writer, blogger, social media-obseesed, and continue to train intensively, with top social media and e-marketing professionals . I am so EXCITED about leveraging the power of social media to create relationships and build audiences for my clients and fans!
