About

Marketing leader aligning marketing strategy with scalable execution. I specialize in building demand engines, optimizing martech stacks, and bridging the gap between marketing and sales ops. Most recently at Alessa Inc, I guided the team through a full brand refresh post-acquisition, improved lead funnel efficiency, and drove measurable MQL-to-SQL lift. I thrive in high-growth, high-change environments and am currently open to new remote opportunities across brand, demand, digital, lifecycle, and RevOps.
