My strongest fit is senior individual contributor work in marketing operations and marketing technology governance, with adjacent opportunities in AI enablement focused on business workflows, permissions, and adoption. I prefer hands-on ownership and leading complex work across teams. I previously operated at senior manager level at Zillow Group.

My focus is marketing systems, digital assets, and data access: who owns a platform, how information is organized, who can use it, and how teams maintain it. At Zillow Group, I coordinated Databricks workspace and data-access requirements with Data Product and wrote self-service guidance for Marketing Ops.
I’ve helped teams coordinate work from brief to launch, automate repetitive campaign production, get usable marketing data sooner, and simplify connected platforms. At Zillow Group, I standardized intake and project tracking in Jira and coordinated data-access requirements. At Simpleview, I worked on shared project planning and marketing workflows.
I spoke at Iterable Activate Summit about automating StreetEasy’s customer journeys with catalogs and data feeds. I also contributed to the StreetEasy team recognized with Iterable’s Best Use of Data award. Explore the session and award-winning work in Speaking & Recognition.
