About Me

I'm a vibrant and outgoing individual with a passion for marketing.

I've been a marketer for the past four years, with experience working for a successful consumer electronics company and a fantastic boutique marketing firm.

In that time, I've learned a lot about the importance of providing excellent customer service, crafting phenomenal customer experiences, relationship marketing and the myriad of challenges that entrepreneurs face when running a start-up. I've been recognized as a thought leader that is always generating ideas or suggesting methods to improve upon existing processes to contribute to the bottom line.

I love working in collaborative, entrepreneurial environments where I can implement ideas, and educate consumers about awe-inspiring brands and services.
