The approach

Three-plus years building brand presence and driving engagement across every channel — now leveraging AI and automation to move faster and deliver stronger results at every stage.

I oversee the full marketing function for a private membership organization — social, email, SMS, content, branded collateral, event production, and website management. It requires equal parts creative instinct and operational discipline, and I thrive in that space.

What sets my approach apart is how I work. I use AI tools intentionally to improve consistency, speed up production, and save room for the thinking that actually moves things forward.
