In My Own Words

Experience in B2B sales responsible for all key account planning, clinic and sales development, merchandising, assortment planning, trade shows, and ecommerce interface. This position has allowed me to gain a frontline perspective with measurable results.

Previously I held multiple roles with Oakley in sales and marketing.

Marketing and events continue to be my passion, from concepts to ROI analysis. Managing multiple internal relationships and agencies simultaneously to produce the best possible outcome. Ensuring maximum exposure and seeking new approaches on constantly evolving media platforms. Developing messaging specific for Brand and product focus balance.
