Senior Marketing Manager
I was the girl who loved to travel and discovered quite early the joy of sharing those travels through photography. Jumping headfirst into the unknown started with a high school exchange to France, followed by an impulsive year in Beijing shortly after college. With a kindled passion for travel, I spent several years of my career morphing from tour host into travel writer and finally into a marketing manager role for a major hospitality travel company. This early career added pages to my passport while giving me an outlet to help others discover the joys of travel.
I was also the lady who learned she had cancer at 32 and said – ‘I don’t have time for this’. Instead, I embraced the latest technology and treatment, heading into each chemo session wearing a bright pink wig. In this, I learned I couldn’t do it alone. I understood that my relationships support and recharge me, so I surrounded myself with positive people who would support my cause.
Today, I am a woman who is driven and enthusiastic, always eager and ready to share what excites me. Xinova fuels my curiosity and desire to be surrounded by positive, intelligent and inspiring people. Through this crazy journey called life, I’ve discovered an ability to use language, imagery and technology to create and innovate. My love of travel and overcoming illness has prepared me professionally and personally for the unique ecosystem of Xinova, with its emphasis on fresh ideas and community. It’s a pleasure to be surrounded by some of the brightest minds, craziest ideas, and biggest challenges.
When I am not at a computer dreaming up new ideas, you’ll likely find me travelling and/or pursuing life outdoors with my family – most often with camera in hand.
