I work with Louise, OTCA Executive Director, and the OTCA Board of Directors to continue the revitalization of Old Town Lansing which includes producing large scale festivals & events, beautification projects and community enhancements. On a daily basis I update our website, produce the monthly Old Town newsletter and manage our social media presence on Facebook and Twitter. Through my new position as the Communications Director I have had the opportunity to meet and build relationships with many different people throughout the community, this is my favorite part of the job. Old Town is a wonderfully tight & collaborative community with so many diverse, creative and inspiring people working together to help Old Town reach its full potential and I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it.

One of the main components involves the development and regimenting of basic operational procedures within the facility ie: brainstorming, structuring, and then implementing new ways of acquiring, organizing, and re-accessing the varieties of information that pertain to the functionality of NEO. Another is the maintenance of customer relations: ensuring tenants have access to resources, responding to requests, supplying information to potential new tenants, and most importantly, smiling and looking pretty. And then of course there are standard intern responsibilities; I maintain that I can make a cup of Foldger’s coffee that rivals (maybe even surpasses) Starbucks quality.

Working as the Executive Director of the Old Town Commercial Association is probably the best job I could ask for straight out of college.  I have the opportunity to collaborate with multiple stakeholders and produce large scale festivals and events, beautification projects and community enhancements to benefit the revitalization efforts for Old Town Lansing. I work with 1300 volunteers annually, manage 5 committees plus additional festival committees throughout the year, and train 5 interns from Michigan State University on the Michigan Main Street Program. I do everything from plant flowers to producing the annual festival fundraisers. With all of that amazing creative community energy that surrounds me daily from the families that visit our office to the business owners who support OTCA's efforts - I am able to combine my unique ideas with the community to execute our Old Town Lansing community development and economic revitalization program. I am extremely lucky to have this opportunity to make an impact and leave a legacy on the Greater Lansing community I love so much.

I work with the User Experience Research team to help make TechSmith products easy to use. We conduct research to find out how TechSmith products are being used, what aspects of the products are working and what’s not, and how to make them better.

I’m responsible for supporting franchises with customer  service issues by mediating resolutions and analyzing issues to determine their validity.

I help manage the main TechSmith.com website, including the store.

CAMW! houses a number of workforce development councils to focus on particular industries in greater Lansing, including the Capital Healthcare and Employment Council (CHEC), the Bio Economy Council, and the Capital Area IT Council (CAITC). The role of each council director is to provide services and business development tools to employers within that industry. Information Technology (IT) is the fastest growing industry in mid-Michigan and  IT employers need networking capabilities, an understanding of industry trends and initiatives, and access to a talented workforce. The Lansing area is a major hub of IT growth and activity and the CAITC is charged with providing vital resources to employers to help them continue to grow and thrive.
