What I'm looking for
I’m a Director of Marketing and Business Development who builds growth through strong client relationships, clear communication, and hands-on execution. At Autiseed LLC, I lead the strategic growth of an online platform dedicated to helping neurodivergent children and young adults develop social skills.
I drive brand awareness by managing digital marketing campaigns, building partnerships, and identifying new market opportunities. I also work closely with the Director of Educational and clinical staff to ensure messaging is inclusive, supportive, and aligned with neurodivergent communities.
Alongside marketing leadership, I’ve strengthened my sales and event expertise through corporate sponsorship, account development, and product education. As a Sales Consultant, I promote and sell liquor, beer, and wine—continuing to develop on-premise and off-premise accounts and educating staff at each location—while also delivering high-performing brand activations, including being Top 5% of all Brand Ambassadors for Dragon Spirits.
