I'm a marketing and business development leader who believes the strongest brands—and the strongest businesses—are built through meaningful connections.

01 / WHO I AM

Strategy with
a human side.

Throughout my career, I've worked at the intersection of people, ideas and opportunity: developing brands, creating partnerships, bringing experiences to life, strengthening communities and helping organizations find new ways to grow.

I bring more than 15 years of experience across marketing, brand strategy, business development, communications, partnerships, events and customer engagement.

But what has always differentiated me is my ability to connect.

I'm naturally curious about people—what motivates them, what matters to them and what brings them together. I combine that instinct with strategic and commercial thinking to uncover opportunities, strengthen brands and turn relationships into meaningful business results.

Understand people. Find the opportunity.
Create the connection. Build something that matters.

02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

The Person Behind
the Work

I believe some of the best parts of who we are don't fit neatly into a job description.

People. Connection.
Growth. Impact.

I'm passionate about women's empowerment, fitness & wellness, giving back to my community, and creating genuine connections wherever I go.

You'll often find me starting my day at the gym, bringing people together around a cause I care about, learning something new—or proudly embracing my role as the fun aunt.

Those aren't separate from who I am professionally. They're part of what drives me.

Where I Create Value

04 / SELECTED EXPERIENCE

Experience Across
Brands, Business & People

A career built at the intersection
of strategy and relationships.

05 / LOOKING AHEAD

The Work That Energizes Me

I'm most energized by opportunities at the intersection of brand, people and purpose.

That could mean leading marketing or brand strategy for an organization ready to grow. Building strategic partnerships and relationships. Creating experiences and communities around a brand. Helping a mission-driven organization tell its story. Or advising a business that needs fresh thinking around its brand and growth strategy.

The title matters less than the opportunity to work with great people, solve meaningful problems and create something worth growing.

LET'S CONNECT

Let's create something
worth growing.

Whether you're building a brand, growing an organization, creating community impact or simply think there may be a reason for us to know one another, I'd love to connect.
