I'm a believer that marketing is as much storytelling as it is strategy, and help brands discover their voices - and get heard. As CMO of Pocketnest, I lead all PR/marketing/digital advertising efforts for the fintech brand. I have a decade and a half of diverse category experience from agency communications to athletic apparel to automotive to education, developing and executing communication strategies in both traditional and social media. I've supported national product launches and corporate events for the likes of Soffe, Buick, Chevrolet, Wake Forest University , Kaplan, and others. I have an MA from Wake Forest University, where I focused my studies on argumentation and presidential rhetoric and speechwriting. You'd be surprised how often I use those skillz.
