Interests & Expertise
​
I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves a breathe of fresh perspective. Always seeking to solve a problem or ponder one with you. Those closest to me say positivity and loyalty are two of my best qualities.
​
The EdTech and higher education sectors are where I’ve built my career in product management, marketing, acquisition and customer retention. I’m a strategic marketing leader with strengths in research, data analysis, user experience design and website development.
​
With 20+ years in leadership, I have had the honor of serving employees, executives, customers, vendors, students, parents and administrators. They’ve all taught me how to successfully unite teams, negotiate complex terms and project-manage processes along the way. I love camping, barre3, family adventures, gardening and relaxing on my back porch.
