The Marketing & Project Support Team

I am the Marketing Development Manager at Brokers Alliance. My responsibilities include managing our email marketing, social media activity, and print advertising in addition to coordinating training opportunities for our agents. I love that there is always something new and exciting in development for our agents to take advantage of.

I am originally from Maine. I moved to Arizona in 2009. Most of my family is still back east but I love living out here.

For sure raising my son, Evan, to be this smart, independent young person with an amazing sense of humor. Now if I could just get him to brush his teeth without being reminded 15 times...

If I was able to provide support to coworkers and our agents by providing the tools and resources they need for success, then that is a good day.

I think I would meet Hunter Thompson. I’m not great at small talk so I’d love to be able to just sit and listen to him ramble. I think that would be incredibly entertaining.

Lay on a beach in Thailand, hike the Appalachian Trail, and visit the Badlands.

My title is Marketing Development Specialist. I write scripts and record informational and monthly update videos for our agents. I organize, distribute, and report on our lead flow and production. I contribute to our email and social media marketing, help manage our agent onboarding, and contribute to event planning.

I was born and raised in Brunswick, Maine with my wonderful parents, brother Shane, and our black Lab Maggie. Brunswick is a typical New England town on the southern coast of Maine. We have the luxury of being sandwiched between the ocean on one side and beautiful forests on the other. I went to college in the greater Boston area and a few months after graduation moved to Scottsdale, Arizona with my boyfriend Tom. We’ve been here since January 2016 and in January of 2017 we got a Mastador puppy!

Tie between graduating from Wheaton College MA and all that I accomplished in those four years, and moving across the country to begin my professional career.

I keep a running list of everything I have to do on a daily basis. If every task has been crossed off, or has a plan of action moving forward, my day has been a success.

I would love to grab a coffee with my grandfather, David Riley. He passed away well before I was born but from what I’ve been told he was truly a treasure. He was an Air Force officer in the Korean War, didn’t have a mean bone in his body, and had a witty yet humble disposition. I’m incredibly close with my dad, so I imagine getting to know my grandfather would be a real treat.

My proudest accomplishment was back when I was a gymnast in high school. Gymnastics is really a sport of mind-over-matter, in most cases. I used to be terrified of the roundoff backhandspring. My coach worked with me for HOURS to help me get over my fear of flying backwards head first. He would have me practice on the trampoline and would pile countless mats on the floor to protect me from a fall. One day he told me, “If you let the fear get the best of you, you’ll get stuck. You won’t ever grow. It starts in your head first with your mentality, the physical part will follow.” That inspired me enough to give the backhandspring a try without any mats or spotters. I’ll admit it wasn’t perfect, but I never felt more proud than when my coach ran over and hugged me to congratulate me on conquering my fear.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good ol’ fashioned to-do list that is completely checked-off by the end of the day. But, sometimes the workday doesn’t go to plan. As long as I did my tasks to the best of my ability, helped my team work towards our goal, and kept a positive attitude, I feel successful...even if my to-do list is only partially complete.

Without a doubt I would want to meet Dolly Parton for a cup of coffee and some wildly funny conversation. She probably has the best stories. I’d also want to ask her about her secret tattoos that she tries to cover up with arm-length gloves. Google it!

1.Buy my Mom a llama ranch so she can spend the rest of her days with her favorite animal. 2.Ask Dolly Parton about her tattoos. 3.Get verified on Twitter (I’m coming for you, you little blue checkmark!)
