ABOUT ME

I am a skilled expert in the hospitality marketing industry. I have traditional marketing and advertising experience, yet my focus lies in digital marketing where I assist hotels in creating strategy and driving revenue.  I tackle the demand for innovative solutions in a field that's constantly evolving. Always ready to take on new projects and assume leadership roles, I have a passion for learning and growing my skills. 

As a Colorado Native, I enjoy spending my free time with my dog and husband - hiking, rafting, camping, snowboarding and overall experiencing the great outdoors. 

I am a marketer, an optimist, an explorer, and looking for a new challenge.
