Convergent innovative strategist with 15+ years of experience leading high-impact brand initiatives for global enterprises through emotionally intelligent, cross-functional leadership. 

about

INTERUM

Currently, I am leveraging that expertise through marketing and design consulting for small businesses and an intentional, "full-circle" return to hospitality as a server at Cooper’s Hawk’s Piccolo Buco. This pivot blends enterprise-level precision with real-time consumer insights and operational agility to drive authentic brand execution.

HOBBY INTERESTS

Beyond my professional focus, I find balance and grounding through creative and physical outlets that keep me inspired. Whether I am singing, Latin dancing, or practicing yoga, I value the discipline and rhythm these forms of movement bring to my daily life. I am also a passionate home cook, using the kitchen as a space to experiment and reconnect after a busy day. These personal interests fuel my energy and provide a mindful foundation for my professional creativity.
