About

<p>product marketer by day, dj by night. both mean i'm translating super technical things into a digestible format depending on the audience around me. whether it's helping a social entrepreneur get thousands in funding, launching products to thousands, or telling people to attend the event right down the street; most can say I can read a room -- but most importantly, i can fill a room with the people that matter!</p> <p>i started my career with a lot of random college jobs and in nursing school. i quickly realized I did not want to be a nurse and I had a key skill most people were looking for. the ability to help people tell their story and create campaigns and content that would make people invest in a brand. i wanted to combine my technical skills with marketing and luckily found product marketing. i get to speak to engineers learning a lot about how things move and work in an organization, and then create fun and engaging ways to help other people learn about the products i'm working on. most recently, i work in the PR space -- helping PR pros find the coverage that matters and measure the impact of their campaigns. &nbsp;<br><br>being one of the only POC in the room, i feel a large responsibility to share my knowledge with other women of color and show them that you can break into these tech bro spaces, while taking up space and not dimishing yourself in these rooms.&nbsp;</p>
