What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my willingness to start wherever I am, learn quickly, and build structure and systems around everything I touch. Showing up consistently, treating people well, and taking on more responsibility over time is what allowed me to grow from an individual contributor into a Director of Content Marketing and ultimately a Director of Operations.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to ask for what I’m worth and never be afraid to negotiate. I was also taught that opportunities aren’t handed out—you create them by raising your hand, asking questions, and stepping up when others hesitate.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering digital marketing or operations is to take full advantage of free resources, training, and hands-on learning—and to ask as many questions as you can. Don’t shy away from advocating for better pay or bonuses just because it feels uncomfortable; men negotiate all the time, and we deserve to do the same.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I believe the biggest challenges and opportunities in this field come from the rapid pace of change—especially with AI and new tools emerging constantly. While it can feel overwhelming, it also creates a rare moment where newer professionals can quickly catch up to more experienced marketers if they’re willing to learn, experiment, and adapt.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that matter most to me—both at work and at home—are growth, accountability, and genuinely improving people’s lives. I want my team to feel seen, supported, and rewarded, and I carry that same mindset into my personal life by being present for my family and modeling a strong work ethic for my son.
