Background

Armed with an ever-growing skill set, my core competency is explaining complicated ideas in simple terms to people who may not already “get it.” We can accomplish that across mediums, platforms, and word counts while accounting for necessary guidelines and restrictions. My favourite application of this skill is email marketing and CRM solutions. 

Interdisciplinary teams are the rocket fuel of personal and professional growth and I’m eager to join such a team.
