I have spent years writing for a variety of media in a continually changing landscape. I grew from journalism roots into writing award-winning, engaging alumni newsletters for higher education on a variety of topics to convey complicated information to general audiences. The skills gained there meshed with a master’s degree in creative writing and transferred into content marketing in the AV manufacturing field. I advise, support and execute the creation of engaging, strategic messaging that strengthens connections and meets organizational goals to increase public visibility.

I believe marketing should do more than make noise. It should make it matter. Whether it’s driving demand, building brand heat, or giving sales teams something real to run with, I’m here to make sure marketing actually moves the needle. At CTI, I lead a team of people who give a damn about results and relationships. From Pro AV to broadcast, mission critical spaces, and beyond, we create campaigns that build trust and drive growth. No cold DMs. No gimmicks. Just work that works. What drives me? The endurance mindset. I’m an athlete, a coach, and someone who believes showing up when it’s hard is what makes it count. Let’s build something that lasts. If you care about people, growth, leadership, or building brands that actually work, I’m all ears.
