I love working in an industry that is ever changing. We get to help businesses achieve their goals online with cutting-edge technology, and that’s pretty cool.

Jean brings a unique background of marketing and communication skills to TradeMark Media. Her experience encompasses design and communication work in print and on the Web, including contributions to award-winning publications like Texas Shores and ADDitude Magazine.

As business development director, Jean keeps her finger on the pulse of the Austin community and fosters relationships with potential and current clients. She also monitors the goals of the company’s growth and helps strategize business development opportunities that are in line with the vision of the company.

Jean has worked at UT Austin where she implemented marketing strategies for prospective students through the creation of collateral, logos, branding and a Web campaign. She also worked as a design manager at Harcourt Achieve where she led creative teams through the conception and completion of dynamic education products and programs.

Jean is an alumna of Leadership Austin's 2007 Emerge Class and currently serves as the President for the Austin Chapter of The American Marketing Association.

Jean lives in East Austin with her husband, Bill, their dog, Tom, and several lively garden gnomes. She enjoys networking, running, watching movies at the Alamo Drafthouse, traveling, and cheering for Carolina basketball. Jean and Bill are expecting a baby boy in May 2009.
