From playing basketball at Georgia State University to creating defense marketing strategies. I initially joined Nokia as a Social Media Strategist and shifted into a Creative Project Manager before becoming the Space and Defense Marketing Manager.
I'm a storyteller at heart. I was always drawn to storytelling and problem-solving. That passion led me to start my own marketing company where I helped small business owners grow their online presence. The experience sharpened my instincts for building strategies and driving measurable impact.
Joining Nokia as a Social Media Strategist, I brought with me an entrepreneurial mindset shaped by running my own marketing company. That experience deepened my appreciation for storytelling, experimentation, and driving impact.
I transitioned into a Creative Project Manager which allowed me to scale those instincts across global campaigns and collaborate across different groups. It also uncovered a hidden talent in reporting!
My natural curiosity paired with my military upbringing and affinity for storytelling ultimately led me to my current role leading Space and Defense Marketing. This role allows me to apply everything I learned (entrepreneurship, digital strategy, creative production, and storytelling) to shape how we show up in one of the most critical industries and how we build relationships.
I lead Marketing for Nokia's Space & Defense unit. I develop and execute marketing strategies that increase brand awareness, foster industry relationships and drive critical online and in-person engagement in NATO and allied countries.
In my role leading marketing for Nokia’s Space & Defense unit, I focus on crafting and implementing comprehensive marketing strategies that enhance our brand's visibility in NATO and allied countries. I work to build and maintain strong industry relationships that are vital for our strategic initiatives. This involves selecting activities that increase brand awareness and ensuring our messaging resonates with key defense stakeholders.
I oversee both online and in-person engagements to ensure our presence at industry events, conferences, and digital platforms effectively communicates Nokia’s value proposition. By aligning our efforts with the unique needs of the defense sector, I help drive engagement, support strategic partnerships, and position Nokia as a trusted leader in the global defense industry.
I'm motivated by the opportunity to contribute to supporting defense and military operations that matter and that help shape the world into a better, safer place.
Working in this space means every decision, every message, and every campaign must be grounded in clarity and purpose.
My role is about communicating how our solutions support mission-critical operations and help enable secure, reliable connectivity where it matters most. I believe the work we do plays a meaningful role in helping shape a safer, more stable world.
With a background that includes both entrepreneurship and corporate strategy, I bring a practical and flexible approach to how we show up in the market. I value precision, long-term thinking, and building relationships rooted in credibility and trust. Those same values guide how I lead marketing efforts in the space and defense sector.
