Marketing and Communications Director - The key driver for all marketing and communications efforts for the law firm, Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard, I partner with the Board of Directors and attorneys in crafting strategies for internal and external marketing efforts. I am motivated by the challenge that comes from designing pitch-materials that win clients, the opportunity to collaborate on individual attorney strategies, crafting a strategic plan to best maximize both the firm and attorneys' digital presence, the creation of internal marketing initiatives to boost morale and establish vision, event planning sure to leave an impression on clients and firm partners, and through the development of trust worthy relationships with the media.

Before relating to attorneys at Lugenbuhl, I was propagating my own list of clients who looked to me as the go-to professional for results-driven branding campaigns, profitable fundraising events, and over-the-top corporate image promotional activities. In Houston, I made a name for myself by partnering top-marketing professionals with the corporate community. I also served as the lead on several product initiatives from idea conception to final consumer delivery in the restaurant, commercial real estate, and retail industries. My success as a sales leader taught me how to relate and merge marketing departments with sales teams. Plus, it earned me two top national sales awards.

As a member of the Legal Marketing Association (LMA) Southwest Region, it allows me the opportunity to network with like-minded legal marketers, remain current with legal trends and rules, and feeds my desire to always pursue professional development. Past leadership roles have included LMA Southwest Region Member-At-Large, a Past-President of the Houston Chapter of the AMA, and Chairperson and co-founder of the Houston American Marketing Association (AMA) Crystal Awards program, the Premier Awards for Houston-area Marketing Professionals. In the New Orleans market, I have served as a board member of the East Jefferson YMCA, a task-force member on the development of the EJ YMCA fundraising Gala, the Auction Chair for St. Catherine of Siena Gala and Chair of Brother Martin High School's Celebration of the Crest.

A recognized expert in marketing and promotions for over 25 years, I can deliver guidance or help identify the best solutions and opportunities for businesses with passion and on-time results, whether in Houston, New Orleans or anywhere along the gulf coast.
