As a growth advisor, I bring 15+ years of marketing & leadership expertise at startups, agencies, and large corporations.
And in my spare time:
Storytelling
My marketing career began in a birth room in Bali when I delivered a baby for the first time. This profound experience reignited my fervor for writing in my late 20s when I spent much of my freetime making jewelry while listening to The Moth and Selected Shorts.
After being invited to do a live reading of Love Poem for My Cat” during the Ubud Writer’s and Reader’s festival, I discovered that I loved performing stories as much as writing them. When I returned to the U.S. I joined the local storytelling community in Boston while working in customer support for a tech company.
A year later, I found the job that combined my love of storytelling and passion for helping others and landed my first Content Marketing role.
From birth room to career of my dreams, storytelling is still the most effective tool and fulfilling passtime in my life. From the archives, here are a few of my early hits.
