Lead | Develop | Create
​
As a creative professional with 25+ years of experience in private and public sector teams, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to lean into leadership while developing my core creativity.
​
My leadership style includes clear communication, strategic planning, and effective delegation. I work with my teams to ensure we have the resources and abilities to complete each project effectively, with time and attention to adapt and adopt essential learnings along the way. This creates the capacity for change within the groups I work with and enables them to develop significantly through each project while consistently delivering excellence. By building strong teams of talented creatives, we have earned a reputation for reliability within our organization.
​
I look for opportunities to learn throughout each project, develop my teams and challenge our capacity to do more, do better, and do it right, without sacrificing quality or losing sight of the project goals.    

I managed a team of creative professionals with various specializations, such as web development, video, motion graphics, UX, and graphic design. I identified areas for efficiencies, including digital asset management, workflow, and self-serve solutions. I coordinated and delegated work assignments to internal and external resources based on operational needs. I established strong working relationships with internal business partners and senior leadership, providing technical expertise and advice. I led creative development for campaigns, strategic plans, events, and other key deliverables. I facilitated developmental goals, coached, and performance managed the team to ensure individual growth and fulfillment while meeting the organization's needs.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (Temporary Assignment) – COMMUNICATION SERVICES, BC PENSION CORPORATION

I managed a cross-functional team of graphic designers, distribution professionals, a curriculum designer, and an external contractors to meet client business needs for member and employer-facing materials. I navigated change with a team reluctant to change and managed resources, including ending a remote contract with a long-term employee and sharing a resource with Corporate and Employee Communications. I was responsible for a large distribution budget and identified a forecast risk of increasing membership in a paper-first environment. I built relationships across the organization to create shared knowledge and efficiencies. I mitigated risk while preparing for job action and worked with the director of BC Mail Plus to define critical needs for our members and employers. I identified the risk of a paper shortage for our print distribution and made changes to our processes to lessen our risk. I also created opportunities for staff to learn and grow.
