My Story

I connect the dots between your pain points and your path forward.

People who know me well would describe me as energetic, caring, and passionate about the work I do as an AI Consultant in Cincinnati and the causes I support.

I began my career at Procter & Gamble, working across several product sectors in a variety of Customer Business Development and Marketing roles. Some of the iconic brands I most enjoyed working with included Olay, Crest, Pepto Bismol, Old Spice, and Pringles.

In 2009, I stepped into the entrepreneurial waters and entered a time of rapid change in marketing communications: the advent of social media for business. I founded a digital marketing company and thrived on the rapid pace of learning in this tech space.

With a Gallup Clifton Strengths top skill of Learner, a joy for lifelong learning, and a highly people-focused (~extroverted) personality, I jumped in with both feet and my typing digits as well! I enjoyed helping companies, teams, and individuals learn how to harness the power of digital tools to move the needle forward.

I spoke at national and regional conferences on topics like “LinkedIn Metrics That Matter: How to Measure & Build Your Market Influence” (Ohio Business Technology Summit, 2014), “Building Your Practice with Digital Marketing” (Ohio Dental Association Annual Conference, 2013), and “Touching the Hearts and Minds of Others Through Innovation, Service, and Leadership” (TEDx Xavier University, Master of Ceremonies, 2012). You can read more about my career by visiting my LinkedIn profile.

During this time frame, I wrote for several blogs and was a co-author of a business book on social media,  Age of Conversation 3: It’s Time to Get Busy! (Channel V Books, 2010). I have always loved writing and have several other published projects from essays and short stories to works of poetry. I am a long-time member of the Women Writing community in Cincinnati, which provides spaces for women to share their writing, receive feedback, and grow in connection and meaningful conversation within a circle of writers.

I later established a Marketing & Communications department at a national faith-based nonprofit where I led a team of eight marketing professionals. Additionally, I managed our corporate relationship with a national PR Agency, podcast producer, and radio broadcast engineer. I have recently returned to the entrepreneurial space to consult and coach on all things related to AI strategy.

Whether I was leading brands or teams, I placed a high priority on relationship-building and problem-solving. A people-focused lens back then underscores my strong belief today in human-first, human-in-the-loop tech adoption. People lead. Technology follows.
