Professional Summary

500+ strategic partnerships. A 180+ member ambassador program. 834K+ organic TikTok plays. I connect audience psychology, creative strategy, and the full marketing ecosystem to turn disconnected efforts into cohesive campaigns built for measurable growth.

With 10+ years across e-commerce, advertising, copywriting, social media, content, partnerships, community, and experiential marketing, I identify what's holding performance back, develop the strategy, and execute solutions across digital and in-person touchpoints. My cross-functional experience connects brand positioning, messaging, creative, channels, customer experience, and conversion into scalable systems that serve broader business objectives.

Combining a BFA in Photography with certifications in social media, Meta advertising, TikTok marketing, and AI Fluency, I bring visual storytelling, creative production, and performance-minded thinking to the bigger picture: making every marketing touchpoint work harder together.
