Summary

Passionate about solving problems and helping customers grow, I bring over 6 years of experience across digital sales, data & AI, and enterprise marketing — with a journey that’s taken me through roles at Microsoft, Google, and fast-paced tech environments.

What drives me is seeing complex ideas come to life — whether it's enabling a client through cloud transformation, running a strategic workshop that unlocks alignment, or building trusted relationships that lead to real impact. I thrive when collaborating across teams, simplifying technical concepts, and creating processes that scale — all while keeping empathy and inclusion at the heart of how I work.
