Cord Media CompanyInterim Director of Marketing
May. 2021 - Jul. 2021Palm Desert, California, United StatesIt's been 10 years since I sold my digital marketing company and I've spent this time focusing on my daughters, traveling the world, exploring politics, pursuing personal projects, deepening relationships and finding happiness with my guy. But something was missing... I have really missed being a part of something bigger than me, feeling like a valuable cog in a wheel of creativity and innovation. So it is with great pride and excitement that I announce that I'm joining Cord Media, the largest, most talented group of creative people that I've long admired and respected.
