I have been in marketing for nearly two decades after watching the movie "What Women Want" and telling myself I wanted to work in marketing. Starting at the age of 16 as a telemarketer, I managed to work up the different levels and now specialize in demand generation, content marketing, and marketing automation, working with a variety of tools such as HubSpot, Wistia, PartnerStack, Pendo, Riverside, StoryLane, Google Adwords, and WebFlow. Over the years, I have been fascinated by all things marketing and technology. Even though my career started with telemarketing, trade show demonstrations, and graphic design, it quickly transitioned into web design, digital marketing, and content marketing in 2009. The reason I love digital marketing is that it is always changing. Although businesses should stay true to their brand, values, and strengths, they always have new ways of sharing their stories, values, and advice through different channels. I am continuously excited to discover and implement these new strategies in the companies I work for. Having experience with small businesses and startups as well as working for marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies, I understand the benefits of creating processes and structure so that all members of the team can engage and collaborate and create a positive experience for customers. I truly believe that if you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. By working together and building off the strengths of everyone on the team, the sky truly is the limit.

I know what it takes to grow fast and efficiently. As CMO at Sendcloud, I built the marketing engine from scratch, leading a team of 45+ that drove 70% of revenue and turned a four-person startup into a 500+ employee scale-up. While doing that, I launched Dealify, a "Groupon for software," scaled it to seven figures, and sold it in 2022. Now, I’m the CMO at Wetracked.io, where I’ve tripled MRR in 12 months, and built a scalable growth engine for the #1 ad tracking solution for Shopify. No hype, just real, efficient growth.
