Bio 

With unique skills in talent marketing strategy, I help career brands define their recruitment positioning, connect with their candidates in a more genuine way, and help drive informed metrics-based marketing decisions. With specific training in military communication and situation awareness, I bring a unique global perspective with a proven ability to operate in high-pressure team environments. As a weapons specialist turned marketing student, I have definitely chosen a veteran career path less traveled. After serving in positions all over the world, I have settled in San Francisco. Having recently completed my marketing degree and am looking forward to finding a job here in the city.
