A bridge between brand vision
and retail reality

I'm a versatile retail media and shopper marketing strategist with over a decade of experience navigating the intersection of CPG brands, retail partners, and the ever-evolving media landscape. Based in Northwest Arkansas — the heartbeat of retail innovation.

Whether embedded in large organizations or building from scratch in startups, I've consistently brought together brand teams, retail sales, and agency partners to create 360-degree shopper experiences that build loyalty and accelerate growth.

My edge is equal parts left and right brain: data-driven enough to negotiate meaningful JBP programs, creative enough to develop campaigns that genuinely connect with consumers.
