Overview

With 15+ years in the web development industry, I have established myself as a loyal and valuable asset that elevates team, company, and brand success. Though my career has been focused on digital project management, I have grown to a point where I want to move into a more strategic role that has a greater and more-direct impact in respective projects and the company overall. I am exploring opportunities with established companies that value trust and relationships as much as they value revenue and accolades. My skill set and experience as a DPM undoubtedly sets me up for success in digital marketing, and I would love to open up a conversation to show you how.
