This \"triple-threat\" perspective allows me to approach brand consulting not just as a marketing exercise, but as a policy and leadership challenge.What I bring to the table- Creative Authority: 10+ years as CEO of Prime & Prim, mastering the art of brand storytelling and PR execution- Policy-Driven Leadership: Currently pursuing an EdD to bridge the gap between higher education curriculum and the real-world creative economy- Operational Precision: A licensed real estate professional’s eye for contracts, market research, and high-stakes negotiation.I don’t just consult on where you are; I build the roadmap for where the industry is going. Let’s raise the tide.
