Hi, I’m Ann, a Communication Strategist with 15+ years of experience across a variety of industries. I've worked with Startups, Small Business, Non-Profit Organizations and Fortune 500 companies and have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, meeting tight deadlines, and delivering high-quality work. I specialize in UX design, customer retention communications, and creating inclusive and user-centered digital experiences.
As a Communication Strategist, my work revolves around transforming go-to-market strategies into compelling creative initiatives. Harnessing over a decade of marketing industry experience, my focus lies in developing impactful creative briefs and steering agency collaborations to produce content that resonates with our audience. With a robust background in digital marketing, my recent work includes optimizing advertising campaigns to align with my client's brand strategy. These efforts are complemented by my proficiency in UX design, recently certified by Coursera, ensuring every digital touchpoint is engaging and effective.
I’ve worked in different industries such as Telecommunications, Hotel & Tourism, Window & Door, Energy, Rent-A-Car, Non-Profit, Veterinary, Chiropractic, Dental, and Optometry. I have a keen eye for detail, strong time management and planning skills, as well as a creative and analytical mindset.
I think of myself as a marketing jack-of-all-trades, with an emphasis on the user journey. My expertise is shown best through fine tuning the UX journey and identifying inconsistent patterns throughout the UX process. I solve problems using human-centered approaches by putting the user first. I believe that UX design should be inclusive, functional, universal, and equitable to have the greatest impact on digital marketing.
