Summary

I'm a creative and versatile Marketing Communications Specialist who loves turning ideas into stories that connect. Whether it's writing sharp content, planning campaigns, or keeping the brand voice consistent across channels, I bring energy and strategy to everything I do. I work well with cross-functional teams and enjoy digging into data to see what’s working and what needs a tweak. Big on collaboration, curious by nature, and always looking for new ways to make a message stick.
