My main responsibilities as CMO at leap housing are… 

As the Chief Marketing Officer at LEAP Housing, I am responsible for promoting LEAP’s mission of Creating Homefullness and raising awareness for affordable housing across the state. My work at LEAP is varied and vast, including managing our social platforms, building maketing campaigns to promote new properties, volunteer opportunities, and year-end giving. I provide marketing consulting for our property managers, and handle all things design.

When I’m not working I am…

I love spending time in nature; hiking, camping, and kayaking. I’m an artist, musician and avid reader. I also love rock climbing to work on my fear of heights - anything that pushes me out of my comfort zone is where I thrive.

I’m in nonprofit, and specifically inspired by LEAP because…

Housing is a basic need we should all have access to. Our current system struggles (at best) and fails (at worst) to provide hard-working individuals and families opportunities to take part in homeownership, let alone find affordable housing. Working with and for LEAP Housing is a great way to use my skills and talents as a designer, communicator, and consultant to bridge the gap and bring our mission to center-stage in Idaho. Affordable housing should never be limited to your tax bracket. We can do better. We can change the way we approach this growing problem. The team at LEAP is full of people smarter than me, and I’m grateful to empower their great ideas through visual storytelling and marketing.
