Throughout my career, I’ve found purpose in the opportunity to create something from nothing. I deeply value diverse people and teams and bring more than 20 years of creative experience with increased leadership skills and abilities in marketing, communications, management, and strategy development. I am passionate about helping others to identify and develop their talents and deliver results to help a company grow and succeed.
My family and I relocated to the United States from Europe in 2006, settling in Portland, Oregon. My husband Steve and I are raising two teenage boys and a dog. In my spare time, I enjoy arts and crafts, cooking, nature photography, hiking, and traveling.
