I believe the best marketing doesn't feel like marketing. Over a decade at HSN, I built that philosophy into a career, developing audience-centric strategies for $500M+ product categories and crafting narratives that turned browsers into buyers across TV, digital, and social. Before that, award-winning work in public radio taught me that storytelling is always the foundation. A recent Professional Certificate in Digital Marketing deepened that toolkit with formal training in customer segmentation, SEO, email marketing, Google Analytics, and AI-driven optimization. Whether it's a radio story or a $500M sales strategy, what has always driven me is the same thing: making the right person feel like you're speaking directly to them.
