About

A specialized generalist who got a chance to work across brand, social, content, CRM, and customer success, and never stopped connecting the dots between them. Backed by analytics for sanity and AI for leverage. Believes in method to madness, art with science. 6+ years of experience in "going to market" for sharpening judgment, taste and moving the numbers on screens (they call it KPIs or something). plants, reading, watching, creating content is how I escape/cope. Powered by medium roast coffee, trackers, and humor.
