About me

I work where data meets storytelling.

I lead marketing and communications for the US business of SDG Group, a data, analytics, and AI consulting firm, and work closely with marketing colleagues across five countries. My job spans go-to-market strategy, demand generation, partner marketing, creative campaigns, and executive thought leadership, and I advise leadership on commercial strategy, media plans, and budget.

I like to be hands-on. I work in HubSpot, run paid social and search, write and edit video, and use generative AI tools to move from idea to campaign faster. I also take on a small number of independent consulting projects for growing businesses.

Before SDG Group, I spent two and a half years at Envision Technology Advisors running integrated campaigns with sales and strategic partners. I hold an MBA and an MS in Marketing from the University of Cincinnati and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Rhode Island.
