With a decade of experience in both marketing and hospitality, I bring a unique perspective to restaurant marketing. While building my career in marketing and communications across nonprofit, healthcare and education organizations, I also spent a decade working in restaurants, experiencing firsthand the pace, challenges and rewards of hospitality.

Over the years, I've learned that successful restaurants are about much more than great food. They're about people, communication, consistency and creating experiences that keep guests coming back. Having worked on the restaurant floor, I understand the realities of busy services, shifting priorities, staff dynamics and the countless moving parts that go into running a successful operation.

As a marketing strategist, I've led campaigns across email, social media and web platforms, helping organizations strengthen engagement, grow their audiences and build lasting relationships with the people they serve. I bring that same strategic thinking to restaurants, creating marketing that feels authentic, practical and aligned with how restaurants actually operate.

Alongside my marketing and hospitality experience, I bring 15 years of photography experience and 5 years of UX/UI visual design training. These skills help me create marketing that not only looks beautiful, but also makes it easier for guests to discover, connect with and choose your business.

Today, I partner with independently owned restaurants and food businesses to strengthen visibility, build community and support sustainable growth through thoughtful, seasonal marketing strategies designed to support both the business and the people who keep it running.
