About Me

My Personal Brand

An internship during my undergraduate studies pivoted me into marketing. While always having a talent for programming, diving into new technology and creative design, this role gave me the chance to turn those skills into a career. Since then, I’ve blended my creative problem solving ingenuity and tech skills.

In my positions at ELITechGroup, I managed websites, product launches, and global tradeshows. In my current role with Informa Markets, I oversee digital strategy for five brands and lead marketing campaigns for large-scale B2B events. I instruct Software Development at Bridgerland Technical College. Teaching others real-world skills in programming, UX/UI and AI tools helps me keep my own knowledge current and growing in step with industry expectations.

My love of learning and challenging myself prompted me to get a Data Analytics certificate and now my masters degree in Marketing (Fall 2025) to further strengthen my strategic and analytical expertise. I have learned from incredible bosses and mentors who have given me opportunities to lead teams and projects. I have watched skilled examples of leadership that I am looking forward to implementing in the next phase of my career.
