Meet the Graduates

I oversee the marketing efforts of Fargo’s Historic Downtown District. This involves forging partnerships in the development and coordination of large traffic events that include the Fargo Street Fair, Cruisin’ Broadway and the Holiday Lights Parade. I also serve as webmaster, overseeing all web based and social media content for the organization. I assist the President with day-to-day operations, development of new projects/events and am a member of various committees that focus on the vision of maintaining Downtown as a viable place to be. In the absence of the President, I serve as the Chief Operations Officer for the organization.

I lead the market intel team, whose purpose is to fulfill Sanford Health’s mission through gaining a deep understanding of the hearts and minds of our patient and customer populations through insights around their preferences, motivations and behaviors. These insights impact our patient and customer populations though administrative decision making, operational improvements and marketing efforts.

I am currently working on a research study focused on alcohol use and friend intervention and have also worked on projects dealing with memory and media content, all of which have been submitted to the National Communication Association conference. This quarter as well as the previous quarter, I am teaching the undergraduate level persuasion class and am preparing to defend my thesis proposal some time in early summer.
