Entrepreneurship, marketing, and branding are my life's passions. My work is often fueled by a booming bass, incredible coffee, and a drive to push beyond boundaries and limits. Fitness, the outdoors, and international adventures also capture my attention when I am not working with others to create inspiring content for social media platforms and email marketing campaigns. I count myself amongst those individuals whose limits are temporary and often times, only an illusion. As a contract marketer, I provide strategic marketing, branding, and content generation services in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area. I completed my Masters of Science in Marketing at Texas A&M University's Mays Business School. Since beginning my professional marketing work, I have collaborated with teams to create innovative marketing solutions across multiple industries in the United States and abroad. As a marketing consultant, my teams have worked with companies domestically in Dallas and Houston, Texas and internationally in Cape Town, South Africa within the insurance, CPG, public relations, and education industries. These engagements focused on branding and marketing efforts as well as management, operations, and sales strategies. With a foundation in business management and client-services, a love for strategy and people matched well with my entrepreneurial spirit. In 2014, I received the opportunity to work with young, local entrepreneurs in Cape Town, South Africa. In a culture known for prospering despite adversity, these entrepreneurs and their start-ups inspired me throughout our engagements. In my time in SA, these start-ups and I teamed together on product-positioning, operations, and promotional strategies and its execution.
