About

Professional summary

My professional background has largely been focused on using my relationship development skills to identify areas of opportunity to grow revenue through creative asset deliverables. I utilize a mix of value and question-based selling to connect with the needs of an organization and connect the dots to establish the pathway to achieve those goals. These assets contribute to an employee who is quick to learn, quick to adjust and holds a high EQ when it comes to driving both strategic and tactical execution.

I completed my MBA at the University of Colorado-Boulder which has equipped me with a solid foundation in business consultation and strategy. However, I balance this with an intangible education spent working with early and high-growth stage startups which then progressed into more corporate and then non-profit spaces, rounding out an experience that has given me a unique perspective on how to achieve brand growth at different levels. I see every challenge as an opportunity, whether in using data to create a new process or developing client relationships to really understand what success means for them.
