Creating Value, Driving Growth
“My three favorite experiences guide my focus today: 1) assisting media owners in creating custom packages providing tools and concepts driving growth growth 2) working with clients to develop media opportunities and signage opportunities in their venues (establishing their own custom packages to sell to their advertisers) 3) contributed to the OOH / non-traditional chapter of a University of Colorado textbook for advertising and marketing classes.”
Find the love of balance between work, life and family
“Eight years ago, I became a single mom to my beautiful daughter, Isabella. My priorities shifted and I realized the importance of balancing my family support and love for her with my love for work. You may be surprised that I love Las Vegas and I love watching reality TV. In Las Vegas, I can risk as needed, just as i do in my professional life.
