What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading field/trade marketing or event activations where I can drive market growth, manage six-figure+ budgets, and elevate consumer experiences within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a senior field marketing and event activation leader with over 13 years of experience executing high-impact experiential campaigns, sponsorships, and nationwide tours that drive sales and brand visibility. I have managed budgets up to $1M, led multi-market teams, and produced tent-pole events that delivered $2M in repeat business and a 46% year-over-year in-market sales increase.

My strengths include strategic community engagement, client relationship management, and end-to-end program delivery for major beverage and retail clients. I consistently boost client retention and brand lift through tailored activation strategies, influencer partnerships, and cross-functional collaboration, and I seek opportunities to apply these skills to grow premium beverage portfolios and elevate consumer experiences.
