My Story (so far)

I was 15 when my father laid down the law: get a job and no more allowance. Thus began my journey through the working world, a winding path that’s taken me from managing a record store, events management to marketing and corporate leadership.

I've worked within enthralling cultures, where creativity and collaboration flourished, and in toxic ones, where stress and discontent overtook promising cultures. I've been both a senior leader and an entry-level employee, experiencing the highs of corporate success and the humbling lows of feeling like just another name on the payroll. My managers have ranged from generous leaders who helped fuel the trajectory of my career to others who had no passion for people management and clung to the status quo.

In the corporate realm, I’ve donned the hats of Creative Director, VP of Marketing, and Head of Employee Engagement. I've taken sabbaticals to work as a concert promoter with clients like Bill Maher and Diana Ross and more recently to write a book. I've worked for start-ups and established corporations with over 400k employees, in onsite, hybrid, and fully remote roles. Each job has been a chapter in the occasionally chaotic, but never dull narrative of my work life.

Along the way, I've learned a few things. Everyone is replaceable, but people will remember how you made them feel. Skills learned in service jobs are priceless. The right role is worth taking less money or a smaller title for. Changing directions and taking chances in your career keeps you from getting soggy (thanks Kate Hepburn).

This journey has enriched my ability to connect with people and navigate various corporate landscapes. The combination of my varied experiences and extensive expertise enables me to offer meaningful and impactful benefits to your organization.
