Over the past 15+ years, I've had the opportunity to build brands and lead marketing initiatives across consumer products, franchise retail, and commercial real estate. My career has taken me from nationally recognized brands at Old World Industries to managing marketing for multiple Plato's Closet locations, and most recently to leading marketing as Director at Ketone Partners LLC. Along the way, I've helped launch products, reposition brands, increase community engagement, and develop campaigns that contributed to 100% occupancy at The Exchange at 44 Vail and earned a NAIOP Awards for Excellence nomination. No matter the industry, I've always been motivated by solving business challenges through thoughtful marketing strategies that produce measurable results.

I believe the best marketing happens where creativity and accountability come together. Great campaigns don't happen in isolation—they come from understanding business goals, knowing your audience, and collaborating with people across the organization to turn ideas into action. Throughout my career, I've led creative agencies, managed marketing budgets across multiple markets, won a national TikTok creative competition, and guided an award-nominated property through one of its most visible chapters. I'm just as comfortable setting strategy as I am rolling up my sleeves to write a press release, manage an award submission, develop an integrated marketing campaign, lead an event, or help a local team execute an initiative that makes an impact.

As I look toward my next opportunity, I'm pursuing senior marketing leadership roles, including Brand Manager, Senior Brand Manager, Marketing Manager, and Director-level positions. I'm especially drawn to roles that bring together brand strategy, integrated marketing, communications, demand generation, events, and cross-functional leadership. While I'm open to opportunities across industries—including consumer products, B2B, healthcare, financial services, and nonprofit organizations—my ideal role would be with a community-focused or public sector organization, such as a park district, municipality, higher education institution, or mission-driven nonprofit. I find the greatest fulfillment in using marketing to strengthen community connections, build meaningful engagement, and create work that leaves a lasting, positive impact.

I thrive in collaborative environments where marketing is viewed as a strategic business function, not simply a support role. Integrity, teamwork, and a shared sense of purpose matter to me just as much as the work itself. I'm available immediately, flexible in how and where I work, and committed to leaving every organization stronger than I found it.
