I head marketing for a conversational AI company, which puts me in an interesting position: I spend half my time figuring out how to make AI sound human, and the other half trying to stay human in a world that's increasingly automated, optimized, and obsessed with efficiency. I'm a marketing leader with 14+ years of experience in content and brand marketing, a millennial mom, an avid reader, and someone who believes your job shouldn't be the only thing that defines you. I started a content agency while pregnant, scaled it to $120K in revenue while figuring out motherhood, then went in-house and built marketing organizations from scratch—twice. I've led rebrands that quadrupled pipeline, closed million-dollar deals, and learned what actually works when you're juggling tight budgets, impossible timelines, and sky-high expectations. But here's what I'm really interested in talking about: the stuff we don't discuss enough in professional spaces. How do ambitious people—especially women—build meaningful careers without work consuming their entire identity? How do you stay intellectually alive and curious when the world tells you to optimize every minute? What does leadership even mean when companies are actively questioning the value of human employees and half your job could theoretically be automated tomorrow? I love exploring the intersection of marketing strategy and messy human truths: workplace culture that's shifting faster than we can adapt, parenting in the age of screens and algorithms, what makes us decidedly not artificial in an AI-saturated world, and how we navigate careers when the rules keep changing beneath our feet. I bring real talk about B2B marketing, brand building, and navigating modern work, with empathy, humor, and a healthy skepticism about whether we as a species are moving in the right direction. Best for: Business and tech podcasts looking for human perspective and honest conversation. Culture podcasts that want someone who can bridge corporate experience with real-life complexity. Anyone interested in what happens at the intersection of ambition, technology, and actually living a life you don't want to escape from.
