My Story

In my career as a marketing leader, I have had the privilege of driving brand success and crafting innovative strategies for over a decade. With a Master’s degree in Marketing, complemented by a Bachelor’s in Management and International Business and an Associate’s Degree in Communication, I am dedicated to blending academic expertise with practical experience to achieve impactful results.

My professional journey includes a pivotal role as Marketing Director at DMARQ in the Netherlands, where I specialized in branding and content strategy. My work there focused on enhancing the company’s market presence and fostering substantial growth through creative and strategic approaches.

In addition to my marketing career, I draw upon my background as a competitive water polo player, where I excelled and won multiple championships. These experiences have instilled in me a strong sense of teamwork and leadership, which I now apply as a Water Polo Coach at Ventura College, mentoring and inspiring the next generation of athletes.

Outside of my professional and coaching roles, I lead an active lifestyle. I am passionate about hiking, swimming, snowboarding, and sailing. I also find relaxation and inspiration through reading. These interests not only enrich my life but also enhance my creativity and strategic thinking in both my marketing career and personal pursuits.
