I am a senior marketing leader with more than two decades of experience building brands, shaping narrative, and driving growth at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and strategy. My career began in film and animation, where I developed a rigorous creative foundation that continues to inform how I lead marketing today.

​

After studying Film and Fine Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder, I started my career in film and video production with Red Sky Films, which led to opportunities at Pixar Animation Studios. There, I contributed to films including Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life, For the Birds, and Monsters, Inc., an experience that instilled a deep respect for craft, collaboration, and audience-first storytelling. This is also where I began to learn about the impact of brand-impact and content-delivery.

​

I went on to hold production and leadership roles at Wild Brain Inc. and Radium, before relocating to Los Angeles and expanding into post-production, editing, and creative operations. Over the years, I’ve partnered with brands and studios including Red Bull, Disney, DreamWorks, Trailer Park Studios, Duck Studios, B-Reel Films, Fuse TV, and others, leading projects from concept through delivery across commercial, branded, and digital media. I have spent a good portion of my career in the corporate media and communications, working with companies such as Northrop Grumman, a leader in the Aerospace and Defense industry.

​

Today, I serve as a Marketing Director for a cybersecurity and defense SaaS company, where I lead integrated marketing strategy, brand positioning, content, video, event operations, and go-to-market execution across highly regulated and complex industries. I work closely with executive leadership, product, sales, and customer success teams to translate technical offerings into clear, differentiated messaging that resonates with healthcare, government, MSP, and enterprise audiences.

​

Alongside my corporate role, I continue to support select clients through my creative studio, bringing a strategic lens to documentary-style storytelling, executive thought leadership, and transformational brand content. My work blends narrative, design, and marketing strategy, whether on screen, on the page, or across digital experiences.

​

In 2013, I received an Amazon Design Award for Best New Book Cover for Your Wild & Precious Life by Jesse Gros and have since designed additional covers, including The Freethinkers’ Guide to Coaching, My Life Coach Wears a Tutu, and Wild Hearted.

​

I am also committed to community building, mentorship, and education, particularly in helping young people explore storytelling as a means of expression, confidence-building, and understanding the world around them. I have produced two musical plays at a local Los Angeles-based elementary school, and continue to dedicate my time to enriching children through the arts.

​

Additionally, I hold certifications in Breathwork Facilitation and Leadership Development, and I founded NOW Leadership Coaching & Workshops. This work continues to inform my leadership style, which is grounded in emotional intelligence, clear communication, and creative problem-solving.
