ABOUT: PROFESSIONAL
Accomplished marketing and creative leader with over a decade of hands-on experience in the international wine industry. Renowned for elevating brand identities and achieving remarkable boosts in both brand recognition and sales figures. I bring together a strategic mindset and a flair for creative design to orchestrate impactful digital campaigns and craft compelling content. My forte lies in fostering collaboration across diverse teams and leveraging data-driven insights to refine brand messaging, fuel revenue growth, and streamline project management processes. I have a track record of forging fruitful global partnerships and expanding digital footprints. With adept time management and organizational skills, I excel at handling multifaceted projects involving stakeholder input, external consultants, and strict timelines.
ABOUT: PERSONAL
My core values include kindness, creativity, beauty, love, nature, security and freedom. In Meyers Briggs "speak" I am an ENFP. I light-up at the onset of new challenges and live for creating "new things;" carrying them from ideation to strategy, development, launch and refinement. I welcome opportunities where I can focus my passion and professional capabilities and actualize measurable impact. I possess great empathy, love authentic connection with others and pride myself on preserving healthy relationships with clients, consultants, coworkers and others. I live in the East SF Bay Area, am married, a mother (of a human and pups). I love exploring new places, being outdoors, motorcycling on local back roads, hiking, camping, engaging in creative projects, photography, ideating creative concepts, socializing and chilling out (or is it heating up?) at hot springs. Additionally, I teach yoga asana, facilitate women's circles and lead transformational retreats.. A lifelong learner, I am always elevating my knowledge on self-care, how to better relate to others and on ways to expand my marketing and communications knowledge.
