About

I have worked in marketing campaigns and operations for over a decade, monitoring and maintaining multiple diverse and multi-faceted systems and related integrations, which require a mastery of the programs at every level. I thrive at implementing best practices, guides, testing, and QA to ensure consistent outcomes and meeting stated goals. I see myself as a detail-oriented steward for the campaigns I am involved with while remaining innovative, adaptable and creative in order to problem solve whatever comes my way.
