I am a lifelong learner who thrives on tackling big challenges. My passion is in building, motivating, and leading high-performing teams to solve problems through innovative solutions — all while delivering
a positive social impact.

For the past 20 years, I’ve honed my expertise in management, marketing, operations, and building innovative online brands for major corporations, as well as startups. In 2017, I joined GreenFig, a market-driven education company that provides career-driven professionals with the job-ready skills, technical training, and experience needed for today’s digital-first job market. I’ve also had the honor of speaking at industry-leading events and conferences, such as the UPCEA Annual Conference, the ASU+GSV Summit, which is an annual collaboration between Arizona State University and Global Silicon Valley, and Dreamforce, Salesforce’s annual international event.

My philosophy is this: iIf a team is tenacious in their pursuit of understanding the customer — truly connecting with what matters most to them, what motivates, inspires, and drives their decision-making
and success — you can make a profound impact on their world. The challenge (and what I call fun!) is to combine those deep customer insights with an analytical framework — and connect those learnings with a focused, ambitious team, to achieve an audacious goal.
