About Me
As a people-first professional, I make a concerted effort to network, build trust & communicate as much as possible. Our synergies make us stronger together and clear communication is the key to bringing our shared success to life.
In my 12 years of experience as a marketing specialist, I’ve had the opportunity to manage people, projects, products and brands in a variety of industries. My approach to every role and project is simple: Spend time with subject matter experts and listen to understand, identify market conditions, constraints & pain points, then design creative solutions with measurable outcomes.
I’ve been fortunate to have found great success with many disciplines under the marketing umbrella during my career – Let’s make your next effort a memorable success!
