I’m a people-first leader who thrives on building connections — whether that’s between brands and audiences, teams and goals, or talent and opportunity.After years leading high-performing teams in talent acquisition, I made the jump into the experiential marketing world, bringing with me a deep understanding of how to align people, strategy, and execution to create meaningful impact. Today, as Director of Sales and Experiential Marketing at PivotXP, I help brands and agencies craft innovative, tech-driven activations that turn heads, spark engagement, and deliver measurable resultsIn both chapters of my career, my focus has stayed consistent-Building and leading teams that perform with creativity, accountability, and passion-Driving growth through authentic relationships and strategic problem-solving-Delivering solutions that balance big ideas with operational excellence-Creating experiences — whether for candidates or consumers — that leave lasting impressionsI’ve seen firsthand how great leadership and smart collaboration can transform a business. My goal now is to bring that same energy to the marketing space — where creativity meets reliability, and every activation becomes a story worth remembering.

   At PivotXP, we build the tech that turns heads and the experiences that make brands unforgettable. We’re not just an experiential production company — we’re a hands-on, behind-the-scenes partner for agencies and brands that need dependable, creative, and scalable solutions in a world that rarely goes according to plan.We understand that no two activations are the same — timelines shift, goals evolve, and ideas change on the fly.
