My special little senior rescue, Tessa, and me. She faced immense medical challenges, and though we only had a little over two years together, she taught me the depth of my compassion. Pups like Tessa are the reason I am so fiercely devoted to animal advocacy.
Leveraging my background leading marketing for brands like Oracle, PayPal, and Yahoo! to help Reno-area nonprofits and animal rescues save more lives.
LEGACY
My Story...
My pups made me a more compassionate human. They inspired a deep commitment to animal advocacy, especially for the "hard to place" dogs—the seniors, the special needs pups, and the often-overlooked breeds who just need a champion.
For over seven years, I partnered with the Humane Society of the North Bay in Vallejo, CA. I used my marketing expertise to drive fundraising and awareness, serving as a volunteer, a board member, and an advisory board member. Even after relocating to the Reno area six years ago, I proudly continued my advocacy work for them remotely.
My background is rooted in 25 years of leading high-impact marketing programs for global tech giants like PayPal, Oracle, and Yahoo!. Now that I am fully retired and permanently settled in Reno, I am looking to channel that corporate-level experience into local, hands-on animal welfare initiatives.
My Superpowers...
Translating Complexity into Clarity
I spent over 25 years leading high-stakes marketing for Oracle, Yahoo!, and PayPal. My superpower is taking chaotic, fast-moving and refining them into clear, emotionally resonant messaging that inspires donors and drives action.
Safeguarding Brand & Message Integrity
With an eagle eye for detail and decades of executive oversight, I serve as the ultimate safety net for your communications. From donor newsletters to large-scale fundraising campaigns, I ensure your brand remains airtight, polished, and flawless before it hits the public.
Coaching & Strategic Leadership
I excel at aligning marketing programs directly with organizational goals while mentoring and uplifting the teams behind them. Whether stepping into a board room, advising leadership, or coaching a green marketing manager, I bring solutions-focused "air cover" that builds confidence and results.
