WHAT I DO:
In my role as an award-winning Marketing Professional, Designer, and Illustrator for JTEKT, a top-20 global automotive supplier and industrial manufacturer, I play a pivotal role that demands both strategic planning and a willingness to get hands-on to deliver exceptional results in support of our overall strategic goals.

I'm unafraid to dive headfirst into the development of concepts, copywriting, design, and production, even for everyday marketing needs, bringing a unique combination of creative vision, boundless enthusiasm, and technical expertise to the table, ensuring that our outcomes consistently exceed expectations. My extensive knowledge of marketing communications, fervor for innovation, and collaborative leadership style, coupled with years of proven experience in marketing and communications within both the North American and international markets, provide a solid business foundation for achieving our objectives.
