I'm a brand, social, and creator-led marketing strategist who helps consumer brands turn cultural relevance into real business growth.
I’ve worked across both agency and brand-side roles, most recently as the first brand-side marketing hire at a fast-growing DTC company, where I helped build the brand, social, and creator foundation from the ground up. My work sits at the intersection of brand storytelling, e-commerce, and systems design - ensuring creative work not only resonates, but performs.
I typically partner with brands at inflection points: Launches, growth plateaus, or moments where teams need sharper focus and alignment. I’m especially strong in designing marketing roadmaps, creator and influencer strategy, and cross-channel planning that connects engagement to demand and sales.
I work best as a strategic partner: Collaborative, hands-on, and focused on building clear frameworks teams can actually use and scale.
