About

Long before I thought of marketing as a career, I was paying attention to human behavior: the emotional undercurrent behind decisions, the subtle differences in how people communicate, and the gap between what someone says and what they actually mean. At the same time, I’ve always had an instinct to create and an equally strong instinct to organize. Somewhere between curiosity, creativity, and systems-thinking is where my approach to marketing was formed. I naturally move between big-picture thinking and detail-oriented execution. I can zoom out to understand audience behavior, brand perception, and long-term strategy, then zoom back in to shape the messaging, structure, and creative decisions. For me, the strongest marketing is audience-centered, emotionally resonant, strategic, creative, operationally sound, and repeatable. Over the past several years, that mindset has helped me shape marketing strategies across complex, fast-moving environments. Most recently, I led content and social strategy across a portfolio of 82 hotel properties, balancing brand consistency with localized storytelling, operational realities, audience engagement, and evolving digital behavior. Earlier in my career, I partnered with national consumer brands focused on children and families, helping develop content and campaigns designed to build trust, connection, and long-term audience loyalty. Across every role, the throughline has been the same: asking the right questions, uncovering the insight behind audience needs, and translating that understanding into stories people connect with. At the end of the day, I care deeply about how a brand shows up in people’s lives. I help the companies I work with make sure the story they tell is clear, consistent, and worthy of the trust they ask for.
