Sales Engineer with a passion for learning, teaching and listening.

I'm a product and marketing executive in the fintech space. I make products useful, usable, discoverable, and buyable. Let’s connect.

My love for startups began shortly after joining Qualtrics - a few months post-Scott's basement. Many lessons were learned from scaling Qualtrics from 18 employees and less than 100 customers to over 4,000 employees and over 12,000+ customers, from a basement company to an $8.5B SAP acquisition, and one of the fastest companies to $1B in revenue in the history of SaaS. When I started, ARR was ~$1M. When I left, it was ~$740M, and the teams I was fortunate to start/be a part of contributed to ~$150M+ of that overall number. I believe three key elements of a successful team fuel these results: people, processes, and resources.

I'm a dedicated sales professional with interests in the startup world! I love being apart of a team where I'll make a difference and grow exponentially.

I manage a strong team of business and technology analysts as a Content Manager at Gartner, with a background in journalism, market research and content marketing. I love managing creative teams, producing compelling content, and generating actionable advice for business leaders.

I am an innovative, hardworking and accomplished individual with over ten years of experience in marketing, branding, design, demand generation, sales, and customer service. I have a proven track record of surpassing company goals by implementing unique and disruptive strategies, and I pride myself on my ability to oversee and implement multiple, complex projects while managing external/internal stakeholders to meet corporate objectives. Through my full-time job experience and by launching my own creative agency, I have had the opportunity to collaborate on nearly every type of marketing and creative strategy, from creating a single social media post to leading the rebrand of an entire organization. As an employee and person, I am a self-starter, go-getter, and a team player who is not above any task and I will roll up my sleeves to dive into any project at hand. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills that complement a team approach to problem solving. I believe in dreaming big to accomplish the unthinkable, and I love working with others to get the job done. In 2014, I graduated from Miami University with a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communications, a Bachelor of Science in Business - Marketing, and a Minor in Entrepreneurship.

I have always believed that with enough grit, determination and hard work there are very few problems that have no resolution. Often described as spirited and highly adaptable with experience in marketing, digital design and property management while striving to learn more every day.

I am a passionate and enthusiastic self-starter with proven expertise in social media marketing, brand communications, public relations, and consumer psychology. I have experience with clients spanning a variety of industries, from luxury fashion to beauty to hospitality and entertainment. I am a strong communicator who delivers clear and effective direction to drive results; a collaborator who easily adapts to new people and situations; a leader who provides creative and forward-thinking analysis to overcome challenges; a self-starter who consistently delivers work that exceeds expectations.
