About

I was almost held back in grade school because I barely spoke or read aloud in class. Truthfully, I was a shy kid and preferred to listen and observe what made other people tick. Since grade school, I slowly found my voice and developed a career focused on listening to what inspires people and communicating with them in a clear, understandable, and relatable way — much to the shock of my 2nd-grade teacher. I have expertise in email marketing, social listening, media relations, strategic communication, program management, and public speaking across a wide array of settings including academia, government, nonprofit and startup worlds. Most recently, I’ve been leading everything email marketing at MATTER – the premier global healthcare technology incubator – including optimizing our current email marketing efforts, which resulted in a 50% increase in open rates and a 40% increase in click rates. We’ve also launched new email marketing efforts to reach startup investors and health tech industry leaders across the globe. I’m always dabbling in new and creative ways to engage with others. Whether it be podcasting, photography, graphic design, or social media, I’m constantly experimenting. Are you having a troublesome time reaching your audience or making your message resonate? Send me a message, I’d love to help.
