About

I'm passionate about connecting people and ideas through storytelling and community building. As the Director of Social Media, Community, and Influencer Marketing at Nerdio, I get to lead an amazing team responsible for social media, influencer marketing, executive thought leadership, employee advocacy, and community building. For over 15 years, I've been fortunate to work with companies like Demandbase, ServiceNow, and Citrix, and to consult with incredible brands such as AMD, PepsiCo, Microsoft, and Molson Coors. My journey has been all about creating meaningful content, building communities, and fostering genuine relationships. I'm the author of "Facebook Marketing: Designing Your Next Marketing Campaign," and I love sharing my experiences on topics like influencer marketing, private communities, and social media at various events. It's been an honor to have my insights featured in places like FOX Business, the Associated Press, Inc. Magazine, and The Boston Globe. I've been named to several lists over the years including as one of the 25 Top B2B Marketing Influencers to Follow in 2023 and one of the 20 B2B Influencer Marketing Experts to Follow. I enjoy connecting with people at all levels, from team members to senior executives. Whether it's crafting organic and paid social media campaigns, collaborating with influencers, or nurturing private communities, I believe in the power of authentic engagement. When I'm not working, you'll find me exploring new ways to tell stories across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
