My passion is creative branding, and I’ve been fortunate to turn that passion into a career. Leading discussions on marketing initiatives and brand campaigns, I hope to inspire those around me to constantly challenge “what’s always been done” and keep pushing to come up with new and unique ways to keep a brand fresh in the eyes of fans and consumers.
A dual-citizen of the United States and Canada, I have always been proud of my heritage and embrace what makes me different. For what makes us different, makes us great.
