One thing I love about Splunk is that DEIB  isn’t just a page on your website; employees consistently rate their "culture of belonging" as the best thing about working there.

When it revamped its talent brand, I led the copywriting efforts to put belonging at the front and center. I hope my passion for belonging shows up in the work.

I spent 10 months as a contractor for Splunk and got an up-close behind-the-scenes view.

I’m a big believer in being open, so here is my no-holds-barred impression of the company, wherein I will regale you with all the things I wish I knew before I took a job there.

When your agency’s main client is T-Mobile (and you are the lead T-Mobile copywriter), you spend a lot of your time innovating new ways to bring the brand life.

I had the pleasure of helping the telecommunication giant tell its story on nearly every digital platform they have, including landing pages, videos, product launches, and even in-store experiences.

It would be easy for the world’s digital resilience leader to bury themselves in SaaS gobbledygook. But Splunk knows how to translate techno-jargon into human-centered stories.

I’ve proven I can do that, too. I’ve written, creative-directed, and account-managed over 100 plain-language explanatory videos that put the audience first.

I have performed in thousands of improv shows, which pretty much gives me a dual Master’s Degree in Collaboration and “Making Wonderful Things Out of What the Audience Gives Us.”

See how I directed a not-so-hostile takeover of The Garrigan Lyman Group digital agency with just a loud tie, a drawer full of McDonald’s dipping sauces, and a dream.
