About

I am a marketing and communications professional with a strong background in hospitality and multi-brand environments. Throughout my career, I have led brand positioning, communication strategy, and marketing leadership across complex organizations while also supporting brands and individuals through independent consulting. 

My professional journey has included large-scale hospitality and mixed-use environments, where marketing required both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. I have led marketing and communication work across hotels, residences, restaurants, and destination-driven projects, with a focus on positioning, communication, and long-term brand value. This range of experience has strengthened my ability to work across complexity, manage different stakeholders, and adapt marketing thinking to different structures and audiences.

I am most drawn to brands and environments where marketing goes beyond visibility and plays a role in shaping perception, strengthening reputation, and supporting long-term growth.
