About

I’m a B2B marketing professional with 12+ years of experience across the electrical, HVAC, engine distribution, and power generation sectors. I’ve led omni-channel campaigns, eCommerce strategies, and supplier-funded programs for both entrepreneurial companies and global brands — always with a focus on driving measurable results. My skillset spans the full marketing mix: • Content marketing for technical and trade audiences • Digital advertising (LinkedIn, Meta, Google Ads, co-op campaigns) • Email marketing & CRM (Klaviyo, HubSpot, internal platforms) • eCommerce & landing page strategy (Builder.io, Klevu, WordPress) • Event & trade show marketing (end-to-end execution) • Graphic design & branded assets (Adobe Creative Suite, Canva) • Video production & editing (Camtasia, YouTube, short-form content) • Social media management (Hootsuite, LinkedIn, Meta) • Analytics, reporting & attribution (GA4, Klaviyo, UTM tracking) I’m also well-versed in AI-powered workflows, including prompt design, content automation, and campaign optimization. I continuously look for ways to integrate emerging tools to improve efficiency, accuracy, and creative output. I take pride in owning both strategy and execution — whether it's supporting sales, improving the customer journey, or delivering multi-channel campaigns that align with business goals. I’ve thrived in fast-moving environments and believe the best work happens when teams are collaborative, empowered, and trusted. I value working for organizations that recognize the importance of team culture, cross-functional alignment, and hybrid flexibility — where productivity is measured by results, not just presence. As I continue to grow in my career, I’m energized by opportunities to contribute to professional, people-first teams where marketing plays a strategic role.
