Dynamic marketing professional with experience in brand development, donor engagement, event coordination, and strategic partnerships.

I served previously as Director of Marketing at Legacy Preferred Lending, where I led high-impact campaigns to drive growth and visibility. I have also worked contractually on the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Red Carpet managing VIP guest experience, and earlier built my personal brand at Goosehead Insurance by securing key partnerships through strategic marketing and networking. I am passionate about creating impactful campaigns, building meaningful relationships, and driving measurable results.
