Profile


Product Marketing Professional and Digital Media Specialist

I am a jack-of-all-trades marketer with proven capabilities in product marketing and development, PR, leadership marketing, social media and digital, and content marketing. The videos, case studies, whitepapers, webinars, market research studies and social media content I’ve created have driven the majority of my current company’s inbound leads. We’ve seen a 400% increase year/year.

I’m passionate about technology, especially if it’s clean and green, but I’d still rather be mountain biking or playing disc golf.
