Award-winning marketing and communications executive with 16+ years of experience leading brand strategy, audience growth, and high-impact campaigns across aerospace, defense, and advanced technology.My career has centered on brand transformation and growth-driven storytelling in complex, competitive environments. I’ve led enterprise-wide communications, digital and brand marketing, public relations, executive messaging, and employee engagement for large-scale organizations, including serving in an acting CMO capacity at a $7B national security company. Highlights include scaling digital reach to more than 2M LinkedIn impressions year over year, shaping and advancing the Peraton brand since its inception, leading high-visibility sponsorships such as the ESPN Armed Forces Classic and Washington Commanders “Touchdowns for Wishes,” and driving rebrand initiatives that reposition companies for growth.I’ve also led flagship industry presences at Space Symposium, AUSA, GEOINT, and World ATM Congress, and built purpose-driven CSR programs with organizations including the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and Make-A-Wish Foundation. I’m known for building high-performing teams, tightly aligning marketing with business development, and delivering measurable results that strengthen reputation and accelerate growth.At the core of my leadership is a belief that communications is not just about visibility, but about impact. I bring a resilient, mission-first perspective to my work and a deep appreciation for the role storytelling plays in shaping trust, momentum, and connection.Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to Bronx, stepmom to Nyla, and corgi mom to Hero. As a widow, I carry perspective that shapes both my leadership style and my commitment to living fully. And as a lifelong D.C. sports fan, let’s go Commanders, Wizards, Nats, Caps, and DC United!
