My journey from producing Emmy-winning morning newscasts in the Heartland to leading digital marketing teams has been fueled by a deep passion for storytelling, creativity, and data-driven impact. With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in building integrated marketing programs that spark meaningful conversations, accelerate growth, and exceed ambitious goals. I partner with forward-thinking healthcare and technology leaders to craft innovative communication strategies that break new ground — like establishing a healthtech category that drove a 139% follower growth in under three months, or accelerating thought leadership platforms at an enterprise tech company with 270% quarter-over-quarter LinkedIn growth. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and analytics, blending SEO, AI-powered content strategy, social media innovation, and storytelling to deliver measurable brand and demand impact. My leadership style is rooted in fostering inclusive, collaborative cultures that inspire teams to bring their strongest, most authentic selves to work—because innovation flourishes in diversity. As a proud neurodivergent professional navigating autism and ADHD, I embrace unique perspectives and champion authentic voices everywhere. I’m relentlessly curious and excited to connect with people and organizations eager to innovate and create meaningful impact in today’s fast-evolving digital landscape.
