Remote based. I am a creative leader, strategist, designer, and storyteller who's had the pleasure of assisting in the creative planning and development process for medium to enterprise-level companies in technology, financial, real estate, and other industries. A connection and relationship builder, I have an insatiable curiosity and go to great lengths to discover and research new technologies, digital content, and methodologies to implement and share. Executive leadership has quoted that I "love challenges and difficult projects."
