About Me
I began my career in manufacturing at Honda before pivoting to marketing post-MBA. Since then, I've led marketing, product, partnerships, and retention across a range of companies and industries.
Across roles, one thing's been constant: I step in where it matters. I call myself a marketing generalist, but really - I do what it takes to move outcomes. Titles are secondary.
Beyond work, I chased my own version of 30under30 - 30 countries before turning 30. Travel gave me perspective. So did a few failures along the way.
What drives me? Solving real problems with sharp teams, a sense of purpose, and the freedom to act with clarity and intent.
