Self-described pirate with a heart of gold. Strategy, manipulation and vulnerability are positive words in my book. Those who know me best count me as a boss, advisor, supporter and most importantly, a friend. Pearl, Coco, Bernie and Sasha. Yes, I drive results and know the names of my clients' dogs. And yes, both are important. Only 20+ years in the making, I founded Golden Thread Agency built on the idea that we're all connected, to each other and to something bigger than us. And it's our responsibility to honor that connection. We are people first, and when you discover the connections that matter most then you can move people to feel, to learn and to buy.

Previously, I spent a decade helping to build an award-winning, full-service marketing agency where I ultimately became the company's only female partner. I started my career in PR; it was love from the moment that I packed my first media mailer. Today I build brands and devise 360 campaigns for BtoC and BtoB companies from CPG and luxury goods to travel and technology.
