Education & Credentials
My academic journey laid the foundation for my career in marketing. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Marketing from the University of Central Oklahoma, where I developed a strong understanding of core marketing principles and had the opportunity to work alongside inspiring faculty who nurtured my passion for consumer behavior and digital marketing trends.
Building on that foundation, I pursued an MBA with a focus on Marketing at West Texas A&M University. This program was transformative, deepening my strategic thinking, decision-making abilities, and understanding of business management on a broader scale. The rigor of the coursework, combined with the insights from experienced professors, provided me with a holistic view of marketing, leadership, and growth strategies that I continue to apply in my work as a fractional CMO.
Approach & Philosophy
I believe that truly effective marketing is rooted in data but driven by people. Data provides the foundation—insights, patterns, and facts that inform our decisions. However, it’s the human element that gives data purpose, context, and relevance. My approach is to combine data-driven strategies with a customer-centric mindset, ensuring that every decision is grounded in analytics while crafted to resonate on a personal level with the audience. Marketing isn’t just about selling a product; it’s about building relationships, solving real problems, and creating value that aligns with the customer’s needs.
In every engagement,
I focus first on deeply understanding my client’s unique challenges and goals. No two businesses are alike, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. I begin by identifying the core issues they face, the opportunities in their market, and the specific needs of their customers. This foundational understanding allows me to tailor strategies that are both innovative and practical—designed not only to stand out in the market but also to deliver measurable results. I aim to create marketing solutions that are scalable, sustainable, and aligned with the long-term vision of each business.
As a leader,
I am committed to fostering a collaborative environment that empowers teams to contribute their best work. I believe that marketing is a team sport; success comes from the combined efforts of creative minds, analytical thinkers, and skilled communicators. I encourage open dialogue, value diverse perspectives, and advocate for continuous learning. In my experience, the best ideas often come from a culture where people feel supported, valued, and motivated to push boundaries. This collaborative approach not only strengthens the work but also builds a cohesive, high-performance team culture that is vital for sustained success.
In my work,
I prioritize clarity and focus. I start by defining objectives that are realistic yet ambitious, and then align every aspect of the strategy toward achieving those goals. This structured approach enables me to manage complex projects effectively, keeping the team focused on what matters most. Whether it's through brand development, digital marketing, or customer analytics, I am passionate about creating marketing strategies that lead to long-lasting customer relationships and drive sustainable growth. I believe in setting clear metrics to track progress and adjusting our approach based on what the data tells us, ensuring that we’re always moving toward impactful results.
When I partner with a client,
I don’t view it as just a business transaction—I see it as a collaborative journey. For me, each client relationship is a partnership built on trust, transparency, and mutual respect. I am dedicated to working closely with clients, providing guidance, expertise, and support throughout our engagement. Together, we define the vision, outline the strategy, and celebrate each milestone. Our shared success is my success, and I am deeply committed to delivering value that goes beyond initial expectations.
A Personal Note
Marketing has always been more than just a career for me—it’s a craft I’m deeply passionate about. From the moment I started in this field, I was drawn to the combination of creativity and strategy, and how the right approach can genuinely make a difference for a brand and its audience. I’ve been fortunate to work with diverse clients and witness the transformative power of effective marketing, and it’s that journey that continues to fuel my dedication.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: marketing is about connecting with people and making an impact. Whether I’m guiding a business as a fractional CMO or sharing insights from a stage, my mission is to help brands grow in ways that are meaningful and lasting. There’s no greater reward than seeing the work we do create real, measurable change, and I’m excited to keep exploring what’s possible.
