What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead communications and marketing programs that strengthen culture, employee experience, and audience engagement through clear storytelling, cross-functional collaboration, and measurable campaign results.

I’ve led internal communications, global marketing, and employee-engagement programs for Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, San Diego State University, and Elijah’s Promise.

At Mercedes-Benz, I helped launch an intranet portal across transatlantic teams, driving 4,000+ downloads in its first year. I also trained teams internationally and supported adoption by 5,000+ employees.

I launched the company’s first Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn platforms, increasing brand awareness by 60% and growing its audience to 7,000+ followers. I’ve also coordinated campaigns for 20K+ prospective students and used performance insights to optimize engagement.

Today, I co-host and edit the Clock In Series Podcast, shaping content calendars, guest outreach, social media, and integrated marketing across YouTube and Spotify. I bring clear messaging, cross-functional coordination, and practical project management to work that connects people with organizations.
