Company Info for ellentv.com | IcebreakerMembers
I'm a well-rounded marketer with a big picture lens, keen knowledge of optimization, engagement + monetization and a passion for brand development and integrated marketing. My experience includes broadcast, OTA, digital and social media strategy, planning, e-commerce, ad sales packaging, brand partnerships, multi-platform activations and influencer programs.
Experienced in the following markets: General, Hispanic, multicultural, women, men, moms, millennials and Gen Z.
Also a health, wellness and mindfulness enthusiast. Working out, healthy recipe making and motivation podcasts are my safe place ... and how I escape the chaos of being a working mom of two kids and three dogs. Profuse sweating and the pursuit to be present and in the moment keep me focused, disciplined, productive and creative.
I love connecting with fellow passionate marketers and storytellers in hopes of collaborating on the next experience that will be memorable. If not, fellow parents who want to compare #ParentingFail stories. Either case, feel free to send me an add. 
Since kick starting my career more than 18 years ago, I’ve carved out a niche for myself that has not only lent itself to my own personal success but to the success of my clients across the board. I operate under the belief that by optimizing the relationship between brand strategy and the frameworks that support it, we can drive growth and elevate organizations to the next level. I’ve worked with everyone from corporate executives to celebrity clients, marketing and development specialists, industry leading powerhouses, and creative event teams to oversee the planning, management, and optimization of high-profile events that promote brand awareness, facilitate engagement, and deliver results where they matter the most.
Employing my strengths in project management, strategic team building, event marketing, and resource allocation, I have demonstrated consistent success directing cross-functional collaboration to promote brand awareness, facilitate community engagement, and deliver bottom-line results. My peers and superiors alike would describe me as an individual who is driven and highly focused when in an environment I am passionate about, demonstrating value as a team leader or team member.
