Life at Square Root Interactive 

I joined the interactive agency in June 2006 as an account executive. I serve as an advocate for clients, helping them articulate their Web site goals and representing them to the rest of the SRI team. I also guide clients through each phase of Web site projects — from planning to implementation — and am the "Go-To" for all of their "How-To" questions when it comes to managing their new Web sites. For me, it's all about building good, lasting relationships. I'm also tasked with creating various types of Square Root documentation for each project, as well as client training.

I also contribute my time as a writer/editor, sharing the responsibiliy for the Square Root newsletter, Refresh, and various other documents, announcement, alerts and news releases.

Life Before Square Root Interactive

Prior to joining the agency, I served as publications and public relations specialist for the Montgomery-based Alabama Hospital Association (AlaHA) for more than six years. At AlaHA, I was responsible for the association's member newsletter, a media tip sheet and other publications. I also maintained the organization's Web site (using the Ektron content management system software provided through Square Root) and served as the staff IT liaison.

Life Beyond Square Root Interactive

I'm intrigued by the Internet and Web design, so working in the interactive industry comes naturally for me. I'm also into digital photography, outdoor adventures and — believe it or not — karaoke. I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart, and we recently welcomed our first child.

Professional Development

I'm a member of the Public Relations Council of Alabama and served as the 2006-2007 president of the organization's Montgomery chapter. I 'm also a member of AAF-Montgomery (formally known as the Montgomery Advertising Federation) and the Alabama Coucil of Association Executives. I've taken numerous personal and professional development courses through Auburn Montgomery's department of continuing educations, including Web design, photography and search engine optimization.

Education

I graduated cum laude from Troy State University in Troy in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts in print journalism and a minor in creative writing.
