About

I’m a Brand and Marketing Strategist passionate about helping consumer brands connect with their audiences through insight-driven storytelling and creative execution. I love transforming everyday products into meaningful brand experiences that inspire loyalty and growth. I’ve led social media strategy for scaling, better-for-you food and beverage brands and have seen how thoughtful digital storytelling drives awareness, engagement, and measurable business results. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and creativity, partnering across teams to bring brand stories to life and deliver impactful results. I’m now looking to bring my agency experience brand-side in Brand Management or Marketing Strategy roles that help build brands making a positive difference in consumers’ lives. ------- P.S.: Did you guess that my background image is a roll of brown paper towels? Many people think it's a tree stump, a fingerprint, or even food. It's all about perspective ... and I bring a creative perspective to everything that I do! ------- Core Skills: Brand Strategy | Marketing Campaigns | Consumer Insight | Social Media Strategy | Digital Marketing | Content Development | Project Management | CPG & Retail Marketing
