ABOUT ME

Hi. I'm Katie. I believe in the saying: "Accept no one's definition of your life. Define yourself."
It shapes my approach to my life and how I perceive the world of marketing communications.

I'm available for freelance work in design for print & web, new media consultation, and public relations.

I'm also looking for a full time marketing position!

My skills center around creativity and conversation to deliver integrated marketing strength and knowledge.
My experience ranges from client relations to design to account management to new media strategy.
I have a B.S. from Emerson College in Marketing Communications, Advertising, and PR, and here is my resume and some examples of what I do.

I'm also a twin, love hazelnut coffee, and have an affinity to jazz trombone.
Let's chat!
