After over 10 years in the digital marketing and media space, I am a marketer driven by results, innovation, and opportunity. As the owner and lead strategist of Crimson Park Digital, I bring my passion for performance to every client partnership, and apply targeted strategies backed by data and the human experience.

It all started in 1995 when my grandpa bought a copy machine and I started making counterfeit bills with my classmates pictures where the dead presidents should be. I sold them for $2 a piece or 3 for $5 until the school shut it down and I switched to selling mix tapes before moving onto building geocities sites for local businesses.
Some kids grew up playing with dolls or legos; I grew up playing business.
My most profitable childhood venture was mowing the neighbors lawns - I later learned that this was partially because my grandfather was fertilizing their yards while they were at work. This was before Nest and Ring when the only home security was the stay-at-home parents in the neighborhood and they didn't snitch on each other.
I had an unconventional childhood which left me with a strong sense of purpose and confidence that I could conquer anything I chose, regardless of my experience or expertise in an area, as long as I work hard.
This led me to be the first-in-the-family to do a lot of things; starting college part time at 15, moving to Italy at 16 for a year abroad, launching and selling a company in my early 20s, moving from a 7,200 person town to NYC to work in VC-backed startups, publishing a book, selling another company, being on tv, speaking at conferences around the country, grad school, and more.
Nearly 3 decades after my first (childhood) entrepreneurial venture I'm still in the business of building businesses and love it.
Today I run A1M with one of my oldest marketing friends who I met on Twitter in the early 2010s. We split our time between advising high-growth SaaS startups and founders, working directly with clients to drive revenue through adoption of AI and robust, automation systems, and producing content to help make good marketing more accessible for all.
Serial entrepreneur with 3 successful exits and 16 years experience as a digital marketing strategist for over 80 tech startups since 2001.
I'm highly analytical and metric-driven. I have a unique gift for dissecting a company's analytics and marketing data, and quickly understanding what's working, what isn't, and how to improve performance quickly.
Companies usually call me when they're frustrated after investing heavily in digital marketing, don't get the results they expect, and don't understand exactly why.
When I'm not working, I'm playing rugby, writing, reading or exploring the world.

For most people, sales & marketing doesn’t sound deeply fascinating. For me, marketing is a passion I’ve been chasing for several years. Most recently, my work landed me a position with Rebel Recruitment where I’m focused on quality, powerful and repeatable sales and marketing processes. My key focus is making sure Rebel's marketing and targets stay on point, always. ✊

I’m a Harvard MBA that went from leading teams at large fortune 500 companies and startups in Silicon Valley to teaching mindfulness and breathwork to people of color. Why?
Microaggressions in the workplace are real. As a Black woman in corporate America, I used to think that the resulting high stress levels and stress related health conditions were a baseline requirement if I wanted to remain employed. And then I found mindfulness.
Trained in India, I realized that mindfulness and breathwork were much more impactful in the context of work rather than the confines of the yoga studio. When someone would say something offensive to me at work, I used a breathing technique to calm my nervous system so that I wouldn’t be triggered. When I was overwhelmed with anxiety and imposter syndrome, I used specific mindfulness practices to build up my confidence and optimize my performance at work.
Today, Employee Resource Groups and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion teams at companies like Google, HSBC, and Deloitte, are driving employee retention and well-being for their teams with my workshops including:
- Mindfulness to Heal from Microaggressions at Work
- Countering Imposter Syndrome with Courage
- Mindfulness around Seeking Sponsors & Mentors
- Rejuvenation from Black Fatigue
- Mindfulness & Self Care
- Managing Stress
- Building Up the Courage to Ask… (promotions, raises, etc)
- and more!
I also educate allies on the challenges that BIPOC communities face with a powerful talk packed with both facts and resiliency tools during Black History Month, Junteenth, and other key milestones throughout the year.
Note that workshops can be tailored for additional communities (women, LGBTQIA+, DEI Practitioners, and more).
