I’m a marketing leader with 20 years of experience working with global brands in industries like beauty, CPG, consumer electronics, and entertainment. I’ve traveled the world, leading teams to build campaigns and content that drive growth and foster brand loyalty. Along the way, I’ve learned how to tackle tough business challenges with creative solutions, and I love mentoring the next generation of talent to thrive in fast-paced industries.
I’m also passionate about empowering women and advocating for equality. Over the years, I’ve helped women find their voice, negotiate their worth, and build careers they’re proud of. Now, as an MBA student at the University of Illinois, I’m sharpening my skills to create even more inclusive workplaces.
When I’m not working, I hang out with my rescue animals —Bagel-Dog and Cheddar Cheese —or cheer on my two step-sons at their games. I also enjoy getting my hands dirty in the garden and recently planted mums for the fall. At the end of the day, I just want to create spaces—whether at work or home—where people feel supported, valued, and excited about what’s next.
