Senior social media and content strategy leader with 10+ years turning brand vision into measurable digital programs. I've built the systems behind enterprise social for a national healthcare brand — governance, editorial architecture, campaign platforms, and the cross-functional playbooks that keep 100+ accounts aligned and moving.

My work lives at the intersection of creative and operations: clear guardrails, flexible systems, and outcomes that actually get reported to the C-suite.
