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.

Communication! My role is to analyze, plan, and execute internal and external communications. This involve my passions for research, training, and creativity. Who is Brokers Alliance? What value do we bring to our partners and our community? In addition to "the 7-P's," communication is the key to success in business, in relationships, and in life.

I am an Arizona native, born in Flagstaff, AZ. But, my family roots go back to Bohemia (a.k.a. Czechoslovakia, which is now the Czech Republic)... basically the name of my heritage country has changed multiple times in a single generation. It is easier just to relate to the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

Making it into a firefighting academy! I was able to show my daughter that no matter your gender, age, or current life situation, "If you want something bad enough, you CAN do it!"

By the wine selection and the company I choose to drink it with.

Without question, I would forward the opportunity to my son. I want more than anything for him to have one more conversation with his late Papa.

1. Spend a month in New Zealand with NO electronic devices and my person.

2. Joint purchase our childhood cabin in Happy Jack with my brother. We called it "J.A.H.U.", an ode to our last name and that it was our summer home as kids. (Jelinek Alternative Housing Unit).

3. Retire and buy a house on a golf course. Specifically, off Tee Box # 10 at the Sedona Golf Resort.

"Craving You" by Thomas Rhett. ❤️ When I write a book on my life and it is made into a blockbuster movie, this will be the trailer soundtrack.

Daniel Radcliffe, because I think he's probably just a really extremely cool person. He's been in so many weird and good movies, he's Harry Potter (which debatably counts as neither weird nor good, but nonetheless pretty cool), AND he's a trans ally? Sign me right up for coffee with that guy.

1. Publish a fantasy novel that's funnier than Shrek 2.

2. Learn how to pick locks.

3. Get my cat Petra to go on a walk with me instead of just schlumping onto the floor the second I get the harness on her.
