Work Experience
American Galvanizers Association
Senior Marketing Coordinator
I began working for the AGA in May of 2010 as the Marketing Intern, was promoted to Marketing Coordinator in September of 2011, and to Senior Marketing Coordintor in September of 2013. I am responsible for website content management, managing the AGA’s social media outlets, publication production, e-marketing, advertising campaigns, designing the monthly member e-newsletter, AGA Update, and preparation and planning for the AGA’s Annual Conference and the Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards.
I established the AGA’s Social Media plan in 2012 and helped bring the AGA’s e-marketing initiatives, including the latest galvanizeit.org redesign, up to speed on current design standards and trends. I often write the E-Marketing column for the ThinkZinc Tribune newsletter and have helped keep the AGA's e-newsletter designs relevant.
