International Marketing Manager International Division 

My mission is to create social currency for businesses globally by building brands, empowering leaders, and training employees to become brand ambassadors on social media. By doing so, I help accelerate revenue growth for these businesses. 

What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to honesty, authenticity, and integrity. I believe that building a strong personal brand or corporate brand starts with these core values.

Brands that are driven by purpose have the ability to establish the deepest connection with their audience, deliver memorable engagement, and form lasting relationships between their brand and clients. This is why I prioritize helping my clients develop a clear brand purpose that resonates with their target audience.

At my company, we make scaling your business easier. Whether you lead a large multinational B2C or a small B2B business, we offer powerful social strategies that can help you generate new leads, raise awareness, drive website traffic, and accelerate your business growth and relevance. 

By working with me, you can tap into over 30 years of experience in sales, marketing, training, and leadership. I am passionate about helping businesses of all sizes achieve their goals and reach their full potential. So if you're ready to take your business to the next level, let's connect and explore how I can help you scale your brand and accelerate your growth.

As a humanitarian, scuba diver, avid reader, traveler, philanthropist, women's rights advocate, diversity, and inclusion cheerleader, and most importantly, a mother of a soul who loves to sing and dream, I am passionate about various aspects of life.

On LinkedIn, I actively discuss topics that are dear to my heart, including personal influence, sustainable leadership, entrepreneurship, and finding happiness and fulfillment in life. I believe that true happiness comes from living a life that aligns with our values and purpose, and I strive to help others achieve this through my content.

I am also known for speaking my mind often and addressing issues that may be considered taboo or uncomfortable. I believe that it is through open and honest conversations that we can drive positive change and create a more inclusive and equitable world.

As an individual and a professional, I prioritize honesty, authenticity, and integrity. I believe that these values are essential to building strong personal and business relationships. By sharing my experiences and insights, I hope to inspire others to live their best lives and make a meaningful impact in their communities.
