About

I build systems, teams, and growth engines — not just campaigns. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve worked across Influencer Marketing, Social Media, Brand Growth, Operations, and Business Enablement, often operating beyond defined roles to create structure, scale, and measurable impact. Currently, I lead Influencer Marketing while also contributing to: • Building unstructured teams and workflows into scalable systems • Launching in-house content, PR, and social media ecosystems • Driving award-winning brand visibility. • Partnering with tech teams on CRM, website, and HR Payroll software initiatives • Managing cross-functional teams and high-stakes execution My strength lies in bridging strategy with execution — aligning people, processes, and platforms to business goals. I’m especially interested in roles where ownership, accountability, and growth go hand in hand, and where leadership is defined by impact, not just designation.
