Dennis MacDonald
Former CEO of Greater Tampa REALTORS®.
Dennis managed me directly.
I had the pleasure of managing Parker directly during my time as CEO of Greater Tampa REALTORS®, where she served as Marketing Manager and reported directly to me.
What stood out first was her determination. At the same time, she was successfully running our marketing, she was also handling it for the Florida Gulfcoast Commercial Association of REALTORS®, where I served as Executive Director. Two organizations, two brands, two full event calendars, and neither one ever slipped.
Parker also has a genuinely deep understanding of audience. She knew how to speak to every segment of our membership, residential, commercial, international, property management, appraisal, and the public, and could shift her voice for each without ever losing the brand underneath it. That same instinct has carried into her events and content work. She never just promoted something, she made people want to be there and used her design and creativity skills to take it to the next level. Strategy and creative are usually two different people in marketing, but in Parker they were the same person.
She led by example long before she had an entire team to lead. In my time with her, she did many assignments herself, from strategy through execution, and never treated any task as beneath her. She never once needed to be told twice, and she never made me feel like I had to check her work. It does not surprise me at all that her role has since grown into one with real support behind it.
Any organization looking for a marketing leader with real range, real instincts, and the follow-through to back both up would be fortunate to have her. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. -
Grace Smith
Former Executive Vice President of Suncoast Tampa Association of REALTORS®.
Grace managed me directly.
I worked with Parker from the time she joined Greater Tampa REALTORS® (now Suncoast Tampa Association of REALTORS®) and had the opportunity to manage her from 2023 until my departure in 2026.
Parker has incredible attention to detail, but she also understands the bigger picture. When it came to marketing, she was always thinking about the story we were telling, the audience we were reaching, and the experience we were creating for our members. She cared about the purpose behind the work, not just the finished product.
Parker also took ownership over her department. She implemented systems, improved processes, and managed a tremendous amount of work while keeping everything moving. She was often thinking several steps ahead and had a way of identifying what needed to be done and just getting it done. As her supervisor, I appreciated knowing I could trust her judgment and that things were being handled.
She was always attentive, open to feedback, and willing to learn. You could tell she genuinely cared, and I think that says a lot about a person. Ioved watching her grow over the years and take on more responsibilities.
Parker has the experience, work ethic, and judgment to take on significant responsibility, and I believe she has a lot to offer any organization. I would not hesitate to hire her again. -
Kelley Duarte
Former Account Executive at ChappellRoberts.
Kelley was senior to me but did not manage me directly.
I had the pleasure of working with Parker for a couple of years at ChappellRoberts, and she consistently brought dedication, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude to every project. Beyond reliably delivering quality work on time, Parker always brought ideas and solutions to the table.
She is a team player, pleasant to collaborate with, and would be a fantastic addition to any team! -
Austin Karrick
2022 President of Florida Gulfcoast Commercial Association of REALTORS®.
Austin and I worked together through a management contract.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Parker during my time as President of FGCAR, and I was consistently impressed by her ability to balance creativity, strategy, and execution.
Parker has a strong understanding of branding and how to effectively communicate with an audience. From marketing campaigns and communications to event promotion and design, she brought creativity, attention to detail, and consistency to everything she worked on.
What stood out most to me was her versatility and ownership of her work. She could see the bigger picture while also managing the countless details necessary to bring an idea to life. She was always open to collaboration and feedback, but equally capable of taking initiative and moving projects forward.
I would highly recommend Parker to any organization looking for a creative, capable marketing professional who understands both the strategy behind a brand and the work required to bring it to life.
