About
As a social media and digital marketing professional with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling and audience engagement, I specialize in developing strategies that connect brands with their communities in meaningful and measurable ways. With a master’s degree in Digital Audiences Strategy from ASU’s Cronkite School, I bring a data-driven approach to my marketing work, ensuring that creative vision is always aligned with strategic goals. Over the years, I’ve also dedicated myself to supporting the Greater Phoenix startup ecosystem, collaborating with founders and entrepreneurs to create opportunities for growth and innovation. Through my involvement with #yesphx and other initiatives, I remain committed to championing local businesses and startups. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching almost all sports (but especially NFL, NBA, and college football and basketball), seeing new films as well as enjoying classics, and I'm a long-suffering fantasy sports GM. I believe in supporting local, building community, and acting directly and intentionally to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion. Always open to discussing new collaborative efforts towards progress and if you are too then let’s connect and GSD!
