I’m a fractional marketing consultant with 20+ years of experience helping brands create clear positioning, optimize lead generation systems, and make more sales. I typically work with companies that have tried “doing all the right things” but aren't getting results due to vague messaging, underperforming channels, or outdated branding. I am a combination strategist + hands-on freelance operator, and have worked for hundreds of brands across projects including brand positioning, sales funnels, copywriting/ content strategy, social media, paid media, website optimization, and lifecycle email. My clients have been in SaaS, ed tech, government/ non-profits, real estate/ tourism, and founder-led brands across many industries.
