A bit about me
The creative aspirations of a marketer should always point towards constructing meaningful relationships that help others evolve and succeed.
Having worked as a writer, marketer and team leader in various professional contexts, adhering to this belief is generating more meaningful results than I could have envisioned, impacting lives and business outcomes.
This is what I'm focused on when I'm not spending time with my beautiful family or writing fiction in the early hours of the day.
