As a Senior Marketing and Brand Manager, I design and deliver compelling messaging and strategy for new product/category introductions, seasonal releases, and go-to-market campaigns. Story telling is my super power! I love collaborating within the creative process to ensure assets come to life that tell our intended message. I have successfully managed millions in budget and have loved watching items sell out (even post pandemic). I have over 15 years of experience in marketing, branding, and digital strategy across multiple industries and geographies. I have successfully launched over 50 new products, developed integrated cross-channel campaigns that drove significant revenue growth, and managed global marketing and branding strategies across more than 13 regions. I am passionate about helping businesses thrive and achieve the reach they deserve. I have worked on campaigns that have achieved viral reach without any paid placement behind them, some with over a million views. I have also worked closely with senior executives and founders in creating leadership development programs, global diversity initiatives, and employee empowerment curriculums. I have a strong track record of building high-functioning, cohesive teams, mentoring individual contributors and managers, and collaborating and influencing stakeholders across the organization. I started my career working with non-profits, helping immigrants and refugees find valuable work placement and educating the community on inclusion. This experience instilled in me a passion for employee advocacy and diversity within the work space, and helped me cultivate skills in public speaking, communication, community organizing, and program funding.

I graduated from the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University, Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Administration Degree focused in Marketing. I have extensive credentials in media planning/buying for both traditional and digital mediums, marketing strategy, and digital media.

I am an entrepreneur, enterprise growth executive and public speaker focused on work that uplifts the human experience and creates opportunities for all humans to thrive. Currently I am Co-Founder and Head of Sales for Yes&Sell, a sales training company that uses the art of Improv to help sales professionals bring performance into their sales craft with training that amplifies emotional intelligence and creativity. I also speak publicly about my lived experience as a trans woman in customer facing and executive roles at high growth organizations and the impact that creating inclusive and equitable work environments can have on individual humans. I was featured throughout Season 1 of Showtime’s hit docuseries Couples Therapy and currently live in Los Angeles where I am a working actress and owner of Full Slayt Productions which is focused on producing Trans stories through a Trans lens for TV and Film.

I'm all in on travel and tech and how the combination of the two transform experiences. With 10+ years under my belt launching high-growth startups to global audiences, my data-driven approach to storytelling has enabled the companies I support reach international markets and drive growth exponentially. You can usually find me working remotely from a new location and chatting about the next trends shaping travel.
