Marketing is My Passion.
I started as a Traffic Manager at a creative, boutique Houston ad agency, acquiring valuable insights into creating smart strategic plans and a great appreciation for exceptional work.
My career flourished at renowned national agencies like Tracy-Locke, where I co-founded an innovation group and collaborated with esteemed brands such as PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, and Hasbro. This experience refined my imaginative thinking backed by thorough research and strategy.
Subsequently, I delved into the luxury brand industry, concentrating on home furnishings, spas, wellness, and hospitality.
I am excited to apply my acquired expertise, skills, and passion to collaborate with you.
