About Me

Driven by Purpose, Guided by Resilience

From personal challenges to professional triumphs, my journey is one of dedication, adaptability, and a commitment to meaningful impact.

My Journey of Resilience

From Personal Challenges to Professional Triumphs

With over a decade of experience building impactful brands, I launched Persnickety Marketing in 2010, during one of the most challenging chapters of my life. As a mother and caregiver to my late husband, I balanced family responsibilities with the demands of entrepreneurship. This journey instilled in me resilience, adaptability, and a profound sense of purpose—qualities that have become the foundation of my work today.

Driven by these principles, I have helped a diverse range of clients bring their brand vision to life. In 2022, with my twin boys starting college, I transitioned from my business to explore full-time opportunities that would allow me to deepen my impact within a team environment.

This path led me to the role of Head of Marketing, USA, at Bunnik Creations in Orlando, followed by an exciting opportunity as Digital Marketing Manager at Seabrook Island Real Estate in Charleston—fulfilling my personal and professional goal of relocating to this vibrant community.

Though my time with Seabrook Island Real Estate ended due to a company-wide restructure, my dedication to driving results through digital strategy, brand management, and client relationships remains unwavering. I am excited to bring my creativity, experience, and commitment to a team that values growth, innovation, and impactful results.

Guided by Purpose

My core values shape everything I do, from building client relationships to delivering results that make an impact. These strengths drive me to approach each project with a focus on quality, integrity, and a commitment to long-term success.

Throughout my career, each step has underscored my commitment to quality, innovation, and achieving impactful results for clients.
