About

With over 13 years of experience in B2B tech and growth marketing, I’ve had the opportunity to lead transformative campaigns, collaborate with incredible teams, and build programs that truly move the needle. I approach every project—whether it’s a new client engagement, global campaign, or GTM initiative—with energy, curiosity, and a desire to make an impact. (Also, my cat insists I get out of bed early and stay productive.) I started in sales, so I understand the hustle, the grit—and what it takes to hit ambitious goals. That foundation drives my approach to growth marketing: blending data, storytelling, and strategy to deliver measurable results. I’m particularly passionate about creating demand generation systems that support the entire buyer journey, from awareness to advocacy. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution—whether I’m building a nurture flow, fine-tuning lead scoring in HubSpot, or mentoring team members to help them level up. Coaching and collaboration are a big part of how I lead, and I love building teams that support each other and grow together. Most recently, I’ve led integrated demand generation and marketing operations efforts across global tech accounts, driving pipeline growth, improving lead flow, and aligning marketing with revenue goals.
