For more than 20 years, I have helped organizations grow through strategies that are innovative, effective, and measurable. My experience spans tech, education, government, nonprofits, agencies, startups, and mission-driven organizations. I work where strategy meets execution, using strong narratives, clear systems, and data to drive meaningful results.Today, I serve as the Community Partnerships Lead at Alpha, a school reimagining what learning can be. Students complete rigorous academics in two hours using adaptive AI, then spend the rest of the day building companies, designing projects, developing life skills, and exploring their interests. Alpha creates motivated and confident learners who grow through action.My background includes leading marketing and communications across complex environments, including technology work focused on IoT, sensing, and analytics solutions that help communities address challenges related to food systems, water resources, and rural resilience, as well as B2B growth agencies where I built thought leadership, demand generation, and go-to-market strategies for high-growth SaaS organizations. Across every role, I have focused on clarity, trust, and outcomes.I hold a Master’s from Carnegie Mellon University and a certificate in Digital Marketing Strategies, AI, and Analytics from Northwestern University. Curiosity, creativity, and authenticity drive my work. Whether I am building a partnership, shaping a narrative, or designing a system, my goal is to help people connect with what matters and move forward with confidence.
