I know, use, and believe in technology. Most of all, I love being on the forefront of the ever-changing technology landscape. Collaborating with tech leaders across Fortune 100 companies – including Microsoft, Dell, Spectrum Enterprise, HPE, and Rackspace – I’ve strategized, created, and executed campaigns that drive results. I’ve also consulted with hundreds of other technology companies and partners at every stage of the business cycle, including startups.With my extensive experience in digital marketing, I help companies of all sizes enhance their online presence and generate demand. My passion for creating exceptional and memorable online experiences begins with powerful content that tells your unique story. From there, I work with our EMM team to build intuitive websites, improve SEO, and develop comprehensive social campaigns that resonate with your target audience and get them excited about your company and solutions.
As a Washington native, I enjoy everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer: steelhead fishing, hiking, riding her dirt bike, fancy espresso, and Seahawk Sundays. Go Cougs!
