It's all about the experiences...
Tell me your stories and share your adventures. I love seeing the passion on your face. You can expect the same from me.
I'll take a picnic lunch on a nameless beach with strangers over a swanky restaurant. I'm a traveler and my favorite stop is the local grocery store. It's the best place to meet people, hear their stories and learn how their differences are inspiring.

Strategic marketing through genuine connections and understanding skyrockets the engagement. I've been told I have "a presence" that gives me a unique advantage when problem solving, motivating a team or engaging an audience. I use adult learning principles and brain science to accelerate reactions.
Leading projects and people through new technology and SaaS companies has taught me the art of customer engagement. The constant balance of changing priorities and meaningful steps. Sprinkle in some humor and keep the ideas flowing for WOW results.
I’ve had the privilege to listen, consult and create across a variety of industries for top companies. This includes several high-level marketing campaigns, product launches and engagement events. I'm driven to help peers and influencers leave an impact.

Mission
My mission is to learn every day, give 110% and make a difference.
I'm passionate about creative problem solving and helping others excel. It makes my heart sing when I see the results. I approach challenges with a smile and perseverance. The “impossible” projects are my favorite because I have the grit to see it through. Where there’s will, there’s a way. I look forward to the thrill of a new adventure and I'll try anything once (well, maybe not skydiving!)

My family believes in working hard and having fun. We take adventures seriously from concerts and plays to zip-lines and white-water rafting.

They are the most supportive bunch I could ask for. Whether I'm taking more college classes or ask them to join me in a charitable event, they give it their all...because they know it's important to me.

Who could ask for more?
