2023 Top 10 LinkedIn Influencer, Biz & Brand Strategist increasing the awareness, audience and income of personal & business brands | Coach, Consultant, Trainer & Speaker → Free LinkedIn training↓

My career has been anything but traditional — and that’s exactly what shaped my perspective.

I started in the legal industry, moving from research-based paralegal work into client acquisition and corporate account management. I managed complex compliance projects and high-profile relationships for a global leader in the legal and regulatory space.

Eventually, I realized my fascination wasn’t just with strategy — it was with why people buy, believe, and connect. That curiosity led me into business psychology and marketing research.

After earning my MBA, I launched my own consulting practice focused on brand positioning, messaging, and digital growth. Over time, I discovered my niche: translating human behavior into marketing strategies that drive measurable results.

Today, I serve as a fractional CMO and strategist, helping founders and service-based brands turn identity, perception, and storytelling into growth. My clients have scaled from $0 to $40K/month, grown audiences of 80K+, and built thriving email lists from scratch — all through human-centered marketing.

Outside of client work, I’ve built a thought leadership presence on LinkedIn and through my Substack publication, “Marketing Mindset,” where I share insights at the intersection of marketing, psychology, and behavior. I’m also a two-time author — one self-published, and one traditionally represented — using storytelling and research to bridge theory and real-world practice.

Now, I’m expanding that bridge even further through my Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) — merging academic rigor with practical experience to shape how marketing and consumer psychology are taught, studied, and applied.

At my core, I believe better marketing starts with better understanding people.

Because when we align strategy with psychology, we don’t just grow businesses — we build brands that connect, convert, and last.

As a former hiring manager and recruiter, I've successfully turned career transitioners into top candidates that landed their dream jobs or promotions.

Are you frustrated that you’re not moving up at your career? Are you ready to make a change, but don’t know how to begin?  Have you been trying to promote, but have been unable to do so?  Or, are you leaving one industry and transitioning into another? You want to move up or switch industries, but you end up sitting there and questioning how you’re going to communicate your value and transferable skills to a hiring manager. We’ve transitioned 3 times and know your struggles. It can be difficult to express your achievements and skills in written form or in person. Often, it comes down to your branding - your resume, LinkedIn profile, or interview strategy. 

With over 28 years of experience, Valiant Resumes has the industry expertise that has turned career transitioners into top candidates. Our clients have received promotions and were able to finally land their dream jobs after having no success on their own. But don’t just take our word for it - see what our clients have said below.
