About 

I have a strong background in marketing across traditional and new media formats, content strategy, and business development. I spent a number of years working in the creative fields of marketing and advertising as a freelance copy writer and graphic designer before taking on a permanent position with a leading mobile technology company, based in California. As Head of Content and Product Marketing within the fast-paced mobile industry, I've gained tremendous exposure to new digital formats, user experience, and data analysis. I've shaped into a business professional who is agile on her feet, extremely adaptable to market changes, innovative, and focused on growth opportunities. I've collaborated with cross-functional teams, including media clients, engineers, copy writers, designers, and sales support, to deliver on large-scale production goals and gain visibility for digital products on global sales channels. I'm passionate about what I do, teamwork, and developing creative marketing strategies that drive business growth.
