I'm a marketing and comms leader with 12+ years of experience designing digital content strategies, systems and teams.

I currently have restricted availability. If you are an existing mentee, message me to book sessions directly as needed. New mentees are welcome to send requests for sessions, as well.

Mentorship focus areas: 📝 Marketing & UX content strategy 🤝 Collaborating across teams 🚀 Leadership, people management and managing up 🌱 Career path and growth planning 💼 Interviewing and negotiation 🕊️ Conflict resolution

I particularly enjoy helping women and minorities in tech, marketing, comms and creative services to accelerate their careers. In my work, I focus on the relationship of content, UX, design and development, both internally (to enable better cross-functional collaboration and products/services) and externally (to deliver exceptional experiences to end-users that also support business goals). I've worked internationally in operational, creative, client service and sales roles and am currently EVP of Digital Marketing at Allison Worldwide.

I live in Tempe, AZ, USA with my husband and two dogs, and in my free time enjoy outdoor walks and adventures, road trips and live music.
