As the Web and Social Media Director, I oversee the person in the Social Media Manager role in addition to creating, managing, and building out web pages and our website strategy.

Design and build webpages for uw.org, PromiseUtah.org, 211Utah.org, and ConnectUsAlliance.org that allow donors, volunteers, the community, partner organizations, and those seeking help find information, discover opportunities, donate, register for an event, and get involved with the United Way of Salt Lake work. Manage and create content for our social channels, United Way of Salt Lake and our early education initiative, 5 Before 5.

Wrote, created, and managed landing page content and marketing content for a hotel booking platform start-up. Worked directly with partners, such as Sundance World Filmfestival, Liftopia, KSL, and Alta Ski Area, to create custom booking platforms for their websites. Was the project manager for the building of two new client's booking engines: Liftopia and Hotel Association of New York City, both which had over 300 hotel pages that needed to be created. Managed the StayParkCity.com social channels, including Instagram, Facebook, Blog, Website, SEO pages, and email campaigns. The SEO pages I have helped create are directly attributed to 40% of our organic bookings.
