Experience

Career Highlights

Throughout my professional development, I've navigated a variety of industries, juggled many different roles, and worn many hats - tackling everything from social media, content, paid advertising, organic search, email, CRM, automation & tech, copywriting, web design - to brand and business development, performance analysis, sales enablement, partner relations, or just pretty much anything thrown my way.

 

Whether that means building brands from scratch, creating custom CRM solutions like incorporating an interactive quote generator to qualify leads or evaluating marketing tech stack and processes for optimizations and efficiencies, I strive to be resourceful and impactful working at any level, in any space.

 

With such comprehensive and multifaceted expertise, I've proven to be a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ who can solve problems, untangle knots, or 'figure it out', no matter what. 

​

Still, I never stop learning and there are so many more things that I can't wait to take on!​
