Who Am I?
I've traveled the globe, living and working abroad for years, and my adventures have helped me grow into a results-oriented marketer with a deep understanding of the global landscape and how companies can best position themselves on the world stage. I am confident creating data-driven marketing plans, executing creative campaigns, and leading successful teams.
Unlike many of my peers, I also come from a background in teaching and education. I've been trained to come up with a dozen solutions to every problem, to adapt to any situation, and do whatever needs to be done to complete a project. Anyone who's worked with kids can attest that planning only gets you so far. You have to be able to roll with whatever challenges or curve balls are thrown your way and that skill is as useful in business as it is in the classroom.
Merging my love of education and business has allowed me to develop as an innovative professional who brings the creativity of a teacher and the analytical thinking of a business consultant to any position.
