Thought Leadership

Thought Leadership

In my personal life, I've been the person people go to for answers. In my career, that's translated to people asking me to write about those topics, teach about them, and create content around them. As a thought leader and writer, I have embraced this role by delving into complex subjects and distilling them into accessible insights that resonate with diverse audiences. My passion for sharing knowledge drives me to explore innovative ideas and trends, fostering discussions that inspire and inform. Whether through articles, workshops, or digital content, I strive to empower others with the information they need to navigate their own challenges and opportunities, ultimately contributing to a more informed and engaged community.

The Background

The Background

The Ask

Even right after college, I was granted the freedom to write and disperse a weekly newsletter about digital tech and innovation in advertising and lead (what became mandatory) happy hours on each subject for the agency's employees. Now, I use these skills to establish my brand on social, with my clients, and in various publications. At Ceros, a SaaS startup, I led Strategy on the Professional Services side of the business, consulting with over 250 clients on how to get value and demonstronable success from the Saas platform. In addition to 1:1 meetings, I led webinars, developed content hubs, designed templates, created countless resources for clients, and spoke at many of the company's conferences. This translated directly to not only increasing my personal reputation, but increasing the brand's positive PR and firmly establishing it as a thought leader in the space. At Google, I researched and developed Best Practices, Trends, and LGBTQ+ and DEI content and presentations for the entire business unit.
