About

I’ve gone swimming with sharks, held director-level marketing positions in banking and apparel, created branding and marketing plans for 30 clients at a Portland ad agency, managed a marketing team of 19 employees, introduced digital and content marketing strategies that generated $1.2MM and have recently returned from traveling for a year with my 4-year old. Now I’m ready for my next challenge. Hello!

The World

I always said that if I ever had a child that I would show them our beautiful world. My 4-year old son and I have recently returned to Portland after traveling in Mexico, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. We trekked the Himalayan mountains, scuba-dived to Komodo island, ate with our hands and volunteered at an orphanage in Sri Lanka.
