HOW I'M UNIQUE
⚡ I work specifically with climate tech startups.
💰 I was previously chief product and strategy officer at a SaaS startup that raised a $27M Series A, and was chief strategy officer at Civic News Company, where I raised $12M to found Votebeat and Healthbeat.
🔥 I led product teams at Facebook, Amazon, and Rent the Runway, but thrive in early-stage environments where fiery intensity and asking relentlessly deep questions is a feature, not a bug.

What makes me less cliché than your average marketer, is that I am a total data nerd.
I have technical skills in web programming and graphic design; which contribute to my innate understanding of how the internet works and finding creative ways to best leverage it + the math to prove it.
I started working in 2006 when my family opened a sporting goods store (sold in 2013) I was able to gain experience in Retail & Event Marketing, Social Media, SEO, E-Commerce, and General Entrepreneurial Business. Through which I have successfully been able to leverage an in-depth knowledge of business analytics, to understand customer behavior and identify patterns, trends, or opportunities; especially in digital markets.
My entrepreneurial experiences have made me a strong team member, by giving me opportunities to successfully take on multiple roles, and work with cross-interdisciplinary teams on projects. By understanding the different needs & goals of everyone involved, I am able to approach problems and create strategies from multiple perspectives.
Feel free to connect and say hello, I am always interested in exploring new opportunities & partnerships.
