I can pinpoint the exact moment that I fell in love with marketing. I was a freshman in high school and asked to design the next iPod. Keep in mind, that the iPod just became popular the year before. I drew up a sleek design of an iPod Touch (an innovative technology that had not yet been released). My design and marketing strategy won over my teacher and my class and little did I know that the first iPod Touch would be released just a year later. The rest was history. I am a product lifecycle and marketing communications professional with expertise in strategic product planning, marketing execution, and client relationship management. I have a passion for telling stories, developing campaigns, measuring outcomes, thinking outside the box, and all things creative. Outside of work, I craft homemade pasta, spend time in the sunshine, am always reading a book, and find myself obsessing over my corgi, Booger!
