xoxo,

I’ve owned my own business for many years now, but I still remember how it felt to get off the ground. I often still feel the pressure to be innovating and growing!

What I saw lacking for small business owners was an outlet for continuous growth and accountability when it came to marketing for an affordable price.

Well – I’m a marketing professional AND entrepreneur! Why don’t I provide that opportunity to my peers?

Pulling on my 15+ years of experience in the business world, having worked in 22 different countries as well as large and small businesses, I bring you the chance to have my marketing expertise in your back pocket.

I hope you enjoy The Marketing Lounge!
