Summary

Influencer Marketing Manager with a proven ability to build and grow strategic partnerships that drive engagement and business results. I have a passion for cultivating authentic communities and a track record of executing high-impact, data-driven campaigns.

My skills include relationship management, contract negotiation, and cross-functional collaboration.


As a longtime player and fan of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, I've been actively involved in the tabletop community. I have also directed and appeared in several tabletop-themed shows in the Austin area, which has given me firsthand experience in content creation and community engagement.
