Hello! I'm a versatile marketer and project manager. Over the past decade I've been a digital consultant and social media manager of some of the biggest CPG cereals in the world. I've also been the executive director of a small non-profit theater dedicated to storytelling and original arts. I've done it all from building a scrappy brand from the ground up, to managing projects for one of the largest tech companies in Silicon Valley.
With my MBA, I literally wrote the curriculum for a social media certification program, have partnered with A-list actors on influencer campaigns, have won an Emmy for my writing and storytelling skills and so much more.
I'm here to help with your projects in a variety of ways, and always with a positive attitude that will help keep your teams' creativity flowing.More...
