Jobs Landed

I fulfill a wide range of duties for sales, marketing, advertising and public relations. I'm responsible for managing inventory of internal and external promotions, fulfillment of contest prizes and vendor programs, maintaining barter agreements, assisting Sales Consultants and monitoring the sales expenses. I organize and participate in company events such as sales meetings, trade shows, sales awards, annual incentive trips, customer appreciation and promotional events. (i.e. Van Andel Arena Events, Muskegon Summer Celebration, Grand Rapids Griffins, Muskegon Fury, The DeVos Place, Lansing Common Grounds Festival, etc.). Overall, I help keep our current customers satisfied and drive revenue while maintaining our respectable corporate image.

 

I like to be busy.  In addition to working as an Advertising Copywriter for Meijer, in their Advertising and Marketing Department, I blog and freelance write.  Most recently, I’ve started freelance writing for RumBum.com.  RumBum is a Miami based website that covers life’s music and culture, entertainment and adventure.  They first asked me to help cover the Rothbury Music Festival, and since then I’ve been asked to write other articles for them including one on Michigan surfing.

Additionally, I’m in the process of writing my first novel.  It's a young adult fiction story about what sparkling treasures you may find if you’re willing to wipe away the dust and look a little closer.  When it’s finished, I hope to work with a literary agent and have it published.
