What is your secret to success?
Celebrate the small victories. As a leader, I am committed to fostering a positive and motivated team culture, and a key element of that is celebrating the small victories.

What advice would you give to a young woman starting her career?
It’s okay to have opinions and voice your ideas. Even if you don’t get it right every time, your eagerness and enthusiasm to contribute are valuable assets.
Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being promoted to vice president shortly after returning from maternity leave was a proud moment for me. Balancing the responsibilities of a new leadership role while navigating the demands of early motherhood was a personal and professional triumph.
How do you maintain a work-life balance?
As a working mom to a toddler, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is a priority for me. I believe in the power of perspective and recognize that I can’t be all things to everyone all the time. I’ve learned to set clear boundaries between my professional and personal life, allowing me to be fully present in each role.
What obstacles have you had to overcome?
Navigating a predominantly male industry, especially within the technical realm of engineering, presents unique challenges. Beyond the misconception that marketing is solely about aesthetics, I’ve taken great strides to showcase not only the value of my work, but also the broader impact that strategic marketing brings to our business.
