About

Lacey A. Clifton-Jensen

MSEd

I received my Master’s of Education and Bachelor’s Degrees from Old Dominion University in Virginia, where I graduated with Summa Cum Laude among other honors. Additionally, I was recognized with a Faculty Award of Excellence for my performance at the university. I greatly enjoy learning environments, as both a student and a teacher, keeping me ahead of changes in social media platforms and fueling my passion to teach others.

I’m a communicator of stories, ideas, and passions. Some of my communication is done on stage, through the lights, sounds, and spectacle of live theatre, something I have had in my life since I was 6, but most of my communication happens through dynamic online media. I take company visions and give them a story, I detail product functionality into something consumers can connect with, I give brands an identity.

But I am not your average “think outside of the box” marketer. I am proactive in my life and my career with an internal dialogue of motivation. I am creative, but I expect quantity, quality, and completion.

My Leadership

As a Stage Manager, I have led the collaboration of design teams, overseen rehearsal and performances for casts as large as 26, and managed crews operating audio, video, curtain, and specialty lighting elements. The stage manager is the first to arrive, the last to leave, and always the go-to for any emergency.

My Experience

My blogs and articles have been published on high-traffic sites, often ranking within the top five stories for extended periods of time. I have written works published in magazine and newspapers, with multiple cover-story features.

Lacey’s Personality Traits

Worktraits Behavioral Style: TDFnE

My behavioral style demonstrates I am extremely detail oriented. I figure problems out and go through procedures step-by-step. And although I am one of the most patient people you will ever meet, I am a leader and not a follower. This means I listen before I act.

Worktraits Core Convictions: ADBnC

My core convictions align well with my behavioral style. A good leader should be an achiever, which I am. I have far more awards than you will see on this portfolio. And I am able to achieve my goals because I am very disciplined. I am an internally driven individual, but am well balanced with a belief in being ethical. I believe it is those with ambition without discipline who fail, and those with ambition without ethics who turn into mad scientists.

My Hobbies

I spend nearly all of my free-time with my animals. I have three miniature goats, two very spoiled cats, and one rock-star dog.

I also enjoy genealogy and joined the Daughters of the American Revolution in 2015 after discovering a headstone in my lineage with a bronze plaque bearing their insignia and the words “Real Daughter.” I feel very honored to have ancestors who were on the Mayflower, too! I’m also a crafter if/when I have time for things like scrapbooking, candlemaking, sumi-e, and quilting.

With so many animals and volunteer activities, I don’t travel much these days, but I used to live in Japan and I’ve been to London, Paris, Florence, Rome, and Thailand.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Lacey is top notch! She is so incredibly helpful at promoting our Rotary Club and its functions. Her expertise has allowed us to sell out of our major fundraiser. She is also fantastic at tech support. Our club would be at a loss without her! She’s the best!

Linda

Lacey is tenacious and is always making sure that her lessons mirror any updates to the social media she is training! Her proactive approach to teaching and her optimistic personality make it very easy to work with her.

Heidi

I can not recommend Lacey Clifton strongly enough. She was always organized, motivated, and willing to take on whatever challenges came her way. In the productions she and I worked on together, Lacey used downtime to clean up or make repairs to set pieces without being asked. Her commitment to the final product shows through in her dedication to the team, and her attitude was always cheerful and ready to help.

Ryan

Lacey has endless energy and showed total dedication to the organization. She represented the organization to leaders within the Navy and local community with tremendous professionalism and talent. She was the ideal person to serve as the “face” of our organization, working comfortably with senior leaders in the Navy, as well as the local Japanese community.
