I'm the person you call when marketing has gotten complicated and you need someone senior who can see the whole picture, make it clear, and actually get it built.

Senior marketing and communications leader with 20+ years across healthcare, ed tech, nonprofit, association, digital, content, email, SEO, fundraising, and communications strategy. B2B and B2C.

I work best with leadership teams that need senior marketing judgment without unnecessary noise — where the work has to fit the goals, the stakes and budget are measurable, and clarity is the thing in shortest supply.

02  The Problem

Marketing strategy for organizations with complex stories to tell.

Most organizations don’t have a marketing problem because they lack effort. They have one because the work has grown — across too many channels, too many stakeholders, too many competing priorities, and too little time to make it cohere.

That is where I come in. I bring structure, clarity, and a practical strategy to websites, content, campaigns, communications, and digital experiences — especially where the work has to be accurate, human, and true to the mission. And because I’ve led the execution as well as the strategy, I help get it built, not just planned.
