About

With a decade-long tenure at Google under my belt, I've dedicated my professional journey to empowering startups, founders, and brands, guiding them through the intricate labyrinth of Google's advertising offerings. Beyond just comprehension, I strive to empower them to tailor strategies that align with their unique objectives, unlocking their potential for growth and success.

Areas I provide support:

- Performance marketing
- Branding
- Growth tactics
- Measurement & analytics
- Frameworks for growth

I've observed first-hand how brands are increasingly embracing data, and I'm passionate about guiding them on this journey. From initial steps to anticipating future challenges in privacy and data, my goal is to make this complex field accessible and beneficial for all.

As an active member of Defy Ventures SoCal Board, Google for Startups Advisor, Black+ Advisory Board, Pride mentor, and Future Leaders at Google, I believe in giving back to the community and investing in the future. These roles, coupled with my experience as an Angel Investor*, allow me to cultivate a broad perspective on the digital landscape.

Listening and curiosity are at the heart of my approach. By asking questions and remaining open to new ideas, I'm constantly learning and growing. My work ethic is defined by determination, commitment, reliability, and trustworthiness, and I’m always striving to create an environment where individuals can truly be themselves while committing to their objectives.

Let's navigate the world of performance marketing together, harnessing the power of data to unlock new possibilities for your brand.
