How I got here.
The resume tells you where I've worked.
This is the version with the why — in my own words.
Audio coming soon.
Born to a teacher and a theater actor who liked to keep things moving. Went to ten different schools by the time I finished — including two separate years in London and a stretch spent living out of a Volkswagen bus across Europe, with Greek ruins, French museums, and Italian architecture as classrooms. It taught me to make friends fast and figure things out as I went.
Moved to Colorado for DU's inaugural multimedia digital studies program, already certain marketing and communications was the path. I haven't left Colorado since.
Joined a scrappy Boulder startup, SketchUp, as Marketing Coordinator — then stayed on through Google's acquisition of the company, leading global campaigns and product launches for Maps, Earth, Street View, and SketchUp itself.
Joined SolidFire, a storage startup in Boulder — which promptly got acquired too, this time by NetApp. Stayed ten years, growing from the campaigns team into Chief of Staff to the CMO and architecting the company's first Marketing PMO. Right in the middle of COVID, my family and I moved up to Breckenridge for more room and the flexibility to work remote — we've been here ever since.
Stepped into a VP role across Revenue and Corporate Marketing at a fast-moving, high-growth SaaS company — building brand, comms, content, campaign strategy and customer advocacy.
Still the connective tissue between strategy and execution — on local nonprofit boards, raising two mountain kids, and looking for the next team that needs someone to hold the whole picture together.
